I have hopefully an easy question.

I was wondering could I monitor bandwith of a web farm using cisco pix 515 with this software.


I also like to note that other web farms are on this cisco and including LAN and I want a break down of just one web farm usage



thanks

If you use managed switches, it might be better to monitor those per-port. I don't think you can get per-policy stats from a PIX, but basically anything you can monitor with SNMP, you can graph in Cacti.

so if I understand correct monitore total bandwitdh not a break down stated computer 1 to 5 use this much of the total.


Is that correct in my thinking

It depends on SNMP support in the device, but usually, yes.

You can almost always get traffic for each port/interface.

You can *sometimes* get more specific stuff, but it is more unusual.
