I have a questions about protecting my network. My parent's have rented out my room, since I'm going to college, and I was wondering if there was a way to monitor the traffic that is going on in my network. Once the guy moved in, the wireless connection speed drastically decreased. I was barely able to sure the internet on my laptop. I currently have about 8 devices connected to my network. I am running a wired connection for my desktop so I don't feel any lag, but everything else runs on wifi.
We currently have a 3/3 Etherloop. We dont have any internal IT as we are still small and while not a networking guy I can at least understand what is going on. Right now at peaks we are hitting 100% utilization.
We run a call center in house so I am trying to determine at the very least how much of this traffic is from voice data compared to everything else.Was running through our networking configuration and it just seems off to me. The following is the flow.
-Etherloop Demarcation > -Cisco Integrated Access Device > -D-Link DIR 655 Wireless Router > -24port HP Procurve switch > -24port HP Procruve switch >
Everything up to the first switch is a single line. The first switch has all ports running out except 1 which goes to the second switch. The second switch runs out to machines as well.
I am at the networking level where I understand a switch but have no idea what the IAD really does between the etherloop modem and the wireless router.
For some reason I feel like the router should not be setup in that manner and should be off of the switch. With the cisco IAD running directly to the first switch. So my 2 big questions are.
1. Does this setup even make sense.
2. Whats the easiest way to monitor traffic, at the very least it would be nice to see real time up/down and be able to log in. Then I guess using ports figure out what is being used by voice. My first guess was just putting a machine between the IAD and first switch and monitor and log the traffic.
We've had problems with our internet router losing connection to the internet. All traffic stops, a reboot resolves the problem. The router only has a public IP and it's connect through a dummy switch to the ASA as shown. I want to be able to monitor netflow or something and wondered if I could add a static route to the 10.x.x.x network and then add the netflow commands. Here is kind of how it looks, I simplified it some by removing unnecessary devices
how can I monitor and prioritise traffic on a ASR 1002? Currently we have allowed another organization to use our 1GB link and we would like to monitor what sort of traffic flows through it and want to prioritise the traffic depending on the applications.
I have a L3 core switch with multiple VLANs setup. Is there a way to place an IPS so as to monitor the traffic passing between, lets say, VLANS 1-3 and VLANs 4-10?
I am new to the PIX firewall. And recently implemented the PIX 506e in my network. I wants to know how we can monitor the system that is generating the more traffic on Network through Firewall.
I'm thinking of switching to another ISP which is faster and cheaper than who I'm currently with. Only problem is they have data caps. Any way to log inbound/outbound traffic usage with this router so that I can make sure I'm not going to hit monthly limits?
I have a requirement to monitor all traffic going from the internal LAN to the cloud. The LAN is a layer 2 VLAN which spans multiple Cisco 4507 switched and other smaller switches.
The VLAN has an IP address which the hosts use as the default gateway.
The exit port is on a Cisco 3600X switch connecrted to 4507 #1 via a 10G fiber link. 4507 #1 connects the rest of the LAN. Those switches interconnect via 10G fiber and 1G copper links.
Currently the monitor host is connected to a 1G copper port, configured as a monitor port, on one of the backside 4507s The switch manager says he has the switches configured so that I can see all traffic on the VLAN.
We have an SG300 managed switch located in a small business of less than 10 PCs. There has been an ongoing issue with Internet speed. Is there any way that I can monitor the router for traffic so that I can see what might be causing the problem? I would like to focus on the WAN port and Internet activity particularly.
Anu network monitoring software that would monitors constant network connectivity? I am working with a company who uses an Access database that checks members in and out of a gym. 6-8 people work in the database at any given time. Several times a day the users will get a network error and they have to force the database to close. Sometimes this happens to all of the users and sometimes to just certain ones. I believe the problem lies with the database (due to poor programming) but I want to monitor the network connectivity to see if and when the network connection is dropped and determine if that corresponds with when users begin seeing network errors in the database.
I live in a shared flat. And all 20 rooms are connected to this switch I believe. Is there any method to prevent the landlord/tech guy monitoring our internet activity (e.g. bandwidith activity, websites we looked at, etc.
I was wondering if there is a way to monitor the total bandwidth available at any given time? My ISP claims and is charging me for a certain amount of bandwidth but I suspect that during the day I am getting much less.
I would like to track available bandwidth continuously (or every 5, 10, 15 minutes) and log that data so I can show them the results. I'm on a Mac 10.7 but can use Windows XP also.
My ISP provide me with Thomson TG799vn (Gateway). The modem can be used with LAN cable and wifi function on it too.
The only computer that's directly connected to it is mine and I am currently using Ubuntu Oneiric and Windows 7. Is there anyway that I could monitor user (disconnect / ban any unwanted connection) connected to my modem.
From the gateway page I can see the below info but do not know how to use it :
user-0efb5820d0 Information Status:Active Type:Generic Device Connected To:WLAN (Wireless) Allowed on WLAN:Yes Addressing Physical Address:00:1a:13:b6:4d:ce IP Address Assignment:DHCP IP Address:192.168.1.70 Always use the same IP address:No DHCP Lease Time:0 days, 23:03:02
I have downloaded many software but it's useless because it provide me with none of the function I required.
I need to track and record all functionality, connectivity speeds and applications of a remote laptop. Here's the basic set up of my problem:We have 40 medical facilities in five Western States, each with up to 30+ pieces of hardware including thin clients, PCs, laptop computers and wall mounted touch screen kiosks operating on a variety of OS including primarily XP pro, then Linux and transitioning into Win 7.We have installed Aruba wireless network in each building on which our mobile medical cart laptops connect. Each facility has a different mix of primary and backup/failover ISP from DSL, Cable, T1 to Bonded T. All are at or exceed 22MB down, 5MB up save the T1s at their dedicated 1.5 and we monitor speeds and network stats trhough our gateway device. PfSense.All employees connect through an RDP (Remote Connection) to our hosting company in Atlanta, GA where the farm of about 28 servers reside hosting our medical, email and office applications.We regularly are contacted by nursing and clinical office staff complaining that "the network is slow". We review connection speeds, loads, ping times and confirm that there are no ISP Speed issues that are causing the "Slowness". However when we review exactly what the nurses mean by "slow" it invariably turns to how long it takes to log in to the RDP sessions and access then run their medical applications in the RDP. They often sit and wait for the RDP to load for five minutes or more and complain of waiting for their typing to catch up in the applications they work in.
We believe the slowness occurs once they are connected in the RDP and that their problems are occurring at the hosting company's facility, getting through their firewall, through profile management and server hardware/software but we can not prove this is the case because the hosting company always claims they see perfectly acceptable speeds and access on their side and we are locked out from access to monitor tehir environment. Changing hosting companies is probelmatic because they are specialised in our industry and leaving would be diffcult. I need some software that I can install on a few machines in a select few of our facilities that will track and record the actual user experience so that we can watch and review exactly what is happening, what the network stats look like and precisely where the user is experiencing "slowness".
I have an exhibition next saturday on network monitoring and I was given ftp server monitoring project. I'm only allowed to used linux based OS for this project. Right now I have 3 notebook. 1 as a client, 1 as a router and another 1 is for monitoring. Right now, I only can make a connection between the client and monitor notebook by using Freebsd in the router. How to setup a ftp server and how to monitor it?
As per me 24x7 network monitoring service is one of the best technique.Even we can protect large scale or enterprise level network with unwanted attacks or virus. Alternative better option of Network Monitoring Service
I am a network engineer at a company with more than 300 Cisco switches to monitor and maintain. Any recommendation on a monitoring software providing details such as network topology and links?
1) How do you manage your inventory of network equipment from the time you receive a product into inventory to the time you decommission it?
2) How do you make aware the people who manage your network monitoring/reporting software that a device has been added/removed from the field?
2a) How do you notify the people who manage your network monitoring/reporting software of what is to be monitored on a new device in the field? Of a new interface that has been added/removed on an existing device?
2b) How quickly do you notify for 2/2a? i.e. minutes, hours, days, etc.
3) What types of interfaces and resources do you monitor on a network device?
I'm setting up a Network Monitoring System in Nagios and Nagvis. Now, I want to monitor the cpu and memory of the switches SGE2000 and SGE2010 with SNMP. Does the OID for the switches SGE2000 and SGE2010 (CPU and Memory).I can't not seem to find them on the Internet(searched for hours).
I would like to make a monitoring system of my network based on Zabbix . I would like to use SNMP protocol with the Cisco RV180W but in that case, i need its MIB table to generate appropriate OID for CPU and memory using and network information. Where i can find this kind of information ?
I have tried to understand these TCP traffic and NAT network but not sure if what I write is correct. Refer to the TCP traffic in cap1a.cap and cap1b.cap. They were captured on the two network interfaces of computer A, and record Network address translation (NAT) traffic that is propagated between network 45 and network 3 by computer A. Figure 1 shows the network configuration.
i have a vpn and want to test the way traffic goes when i connect and disconnect vpn try some stuf, how can i see where my info is transiting , i want to test my vpn reactions to changes ill do.
Are there any routers out there that allow for traffic logging? I'm not just looking for URLs, but I want to capture the actual traffic (filtering down of course for specific key words, etc...)
I am using OPEN VPN in order to connect to a Canadian VPN server.I want ALL internet traffic to ONLY use the VPN connection and no traffic shall pass through my local ISP under any circumstance.In the event the VPN disconnects, I DO NOT want any internet traffic automatically sent via my LOCAL ISP connection. Can I simply disable my LAN network adapter in windows AFTER the vpn is connected? (since vpn uses its own TAP adapter?)
How to view all network traffic on your router not just your computer? Using wireshark. Window 7 and Ubuntu.Without using any enhancements like airPcap or Turbo cap.
My first time attempting this so excuse my wrong use of terms..i believe its load balancing...new company site is going to have 2 separate connections:
con 1: 15 up/2 down coax connection con 2: 6 up/ 6 down dish con 1 needs to simply have http and https traffic. con 2 will have security surveillance, SNMP, and VoIP (PBX)
the hardware i know that will be at that location when i fly up there is a Sonicwall TZ210 and a 48-port Netgear gigabit...where do i start?
check the traffic produced by different hosts in a local network. In other words: which hosts uses how much of the bitrate.For example: We have a wifi network with four computers connected to. Lets say one is running skype, one is surfing in the internet and both left are just in idle mode. Is there a way to monitor the use of our bitrate such that I could see:"Ahh IP 10 is using 80%, IP 11 is using 10% and IP 12 and 13 are using 5% each on average!"
I am supporting a small call center of all Win7 machines. There is no server in house as everything is web based. Anyway, we want to find the bandwidth hogs and programs that I am used to using require servers for monitoring web traffic.
Are there any devices or software that is not a fortune that can give details on bandwidth usage?
