Hi All,
Can someone help me calculating the Link utilization of the Cisco interfaces . We have two Data centers joinded by Dark Fibre services .
The connections are going from Cisco SAN ports in the form for Port channels(3 Interfaces) to the other Data Center.
Each port channel will have a total bandwidth of 12Gb/s
Synchronous replication is running between the Data center (One way only Prod to DR).
Now what i want to know is that, Is there any way i can check the utilization of that link?
Port Channel- 4Gb/s * 3 = 2 Gb/s

Hello,
Either SNMP polling or Netflow should help. Obviously a collector like Cacti or Solarwinds product family will also be required.

Let's catch some fish:
- Google for cisco MDS 9513 6.2 configuration guide will get to a result output like this:
From here you should know that SNMP tasks are to be found on the System Management Configuration Guide; click on it then you will get to the final URL: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/7_3/configuration/sysmgmt/sysmgmt/snmp.html
