How can i monitor the performance of a router/switch interface.

Secondly if i want a ip based logs; nos of bytes in and out from/to an ip, how do i do it.

Hi,

You have to use some monitoring software for this like MRTG (excellent tool), PRTG, solar winds, HP Open view etc. You have to specifically add the interface on which you want the stats.

I am using PRTG in my n/w which gives me the performance graphs, table data to let me know how much traffic is passing on a particular interface on 5 min interval.

For no. of packets in or out of the interface depending on the IP you can use IP accounting feature on the router interfaces.

for example :

HUTCH_AS5400#sh ip accounting

Source Destination Packets Bytes

could you post you show interface output ?

there might be a duplex mismatch or something like that.
