How to Monitor WAN Link?

[marcio.tormente]

Dear!

In my custome they have switches 3560x and 3750x and this model don´t support NetFlow, unless if they havey a special module, but in this custome they don´t have.

How can I discovery witch applications is consuming more link?

Such as:

SAP is cunsuming 30%

Oracle 15%

The link is MPLS connecting main office and a spot.

Thanks

Flexible NetFlow is supported only on the Catalyst 3750-X and 3560-X switch running the IP base or IP services feature set and equipped with the network services module. It is not supported on switches running the NPE or the LAN base image.

Thanks Leo, 

I know about this information, all switches is using IP Service, but they don't have this special service, for this reason I know is not possible use NetFlow and I would like to know if are there any other way to monitor traffic over MPLS link.

Thanks again.

Sure.  If you know SNMP, you can monitor the inbound/outbound traffic using SNMP.  This is what is the underlying concept with Cisco Prime Infrastructure or SolarWinds.
