IP Accounting 3560E

[snarayanaraju]

Hello Guys - I am using a 3560E switch with IOS version 12-2_55_se (Universalk9). Though i am seeing the command "ip accounting" under IP interfaces, "show ip accounting" doesnt show any entries. Also the command reference guide doesnt show the guide for this command 

http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750e_3560e/software/release/12-2_55_se/command/reference/3750ecr.pdf

Does IP accounting or IP route cache work in 3560E platform? How can i find the toptalkers or high bandwidh user if my WAN gateway device is Cisco 3560-E

regards/Sairam

Hello,

IP Accounting is apparently not supported on the 3560E.

Check this document, and scroll down to 'Unsupported Interface Commands':

Unsupported Interface Configuration Commands

ip accounting

ip load-sharing [per-packet]

ip mtu bytes

ip ospf dead-interval minimal hello-multiplier multiplier

ip verify

ip unnumbered type number

Hello,

it happens quite frequently that commands are available but don't work, or are unsupported. The reason is usually hardware limitations.

Thank you. If that said, what is the way i can capture the Top Talkers or to know who is using the bandwidth heavily ?
