Hi,

Actually, I’m working with a Cisco Router 3600, one core connected to 3 point,

How can i know the bandwidth actually used? Or if i need to increase or reduce it?

Do you know how can i measure it?

Best regards, Luis.

Hello Luis,

there is a freeware tool called MRTG which gives you a graphic viewing of the bandwidth used. Check this link:

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/

Basically, you could have a look at the tx and rx load settings under the 'show interfaces command' to get an idea of the bandwidth used, but this will only show you the bandwidth used at this moment:

Serial0/0 is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is PowerQUICC Serial

MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,

reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 20/255

HTH,

Hi,

Thanks, how much reliable is that software, MRTG ?

Best regards, Luis

Hello Luis,

MRTG is very reliable, it is used by many many people already, and it is free.

Let me know if you have problems installing it. The website I mentioned earlier gives a pretty good explanation on how to use it, but it might still be tricky if you have never done it before.

Regards,

GP

Hi Georg,

Thanks a lot,

I'll read and install it,

I'll send you news,

Best regards, Luis.
