Bandwidth usage

[InformationSystems]

I have a CISCO 4431 router. It is my understanding that this router is able to show bandwidth utilization. What command do I use to identify how much of my 500MB bandwidth is being utilized at any given time?

CISCO 4431  - you should have NMS software to monitor - so it will graph you as dashboard.

if you looking to look at the command level

show interface gi 0/0  (which is connected to the internet)

show interface gi 0/0  human ( this will give readable format if the IOS support that command)

example :

#show interfaces ethernet 0/0
Ethernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up
.....
Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)
5 minute input rate 3000 bits/sec, 4 packets/sec
5 minute output rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

(possibly)

sh platform hardware throughput level

show platform hardware qfp active datapath utilization summary

Hello,

--> It is my understanding that this router is able to show bandwidth utilization.

What is your assumption based on ? Is there any mention of that in any documentation ?
