network management with cisco

dmalamba
Level 1
Level 1

I have a wide area network comprising of 2 cisco

2600 series routersconneceted by their ethernet

port and 12 cisco 1601 and cisco 1721 routers

stationed at my remote sitesthings have been working

ok for about three years nor.But when I started

conecting the my 13th, 14th and 15th sites I started

experincing complete network diruption both on the Main

LAn and the wide area network. It seems from the look

of things that my main billing server, which is an

IBM setfity server running windows NT 4.0, is getting

problem handling the network traffic since when i remove

the machine from the network the network get up again.

So I dont know know where to start troubleshooting.Is there

any free software which I can use to monitor traffic, traffic

type or any other tool which I can use to isolate this problem

further so thatb i can find a solutioin to my problem?

Below are the configuration files of my two Cisco 2600

series routers:

Hello,

are you saying that when you disconnect the NT server, your network is ok even with the additional sites connected ? You might want to try and turn on ip accounting first on the interface where the NT server is connected to, in order to find out which source address is sending the traffic to your NT serverm, or where your NT server is sending the traffic. To configure this on e.g. your Ethernet0/0 interface, add the following to the interface configuration:

ip accounting

ip accounting output-packets

You can then view the source and destination address pairs with the command:

show ip accounting

There is a free tool called MRTG which allows you to monitor interface load, go to www.mrtg.org for further information. You could also use a sniffer to verify the source of your problems, there is a free one available at www.ethereal.com.

HTH,

GP
