Monitoring Web Activity

[samirshaikh52]

Hello Experts,

We have a small network for our college.

ADSL------> Cisco Router-----Cisco Switch----Wireless Access Points.

I want to monitor internet activity of all staff....basically a report on users using the sites and bandwith.

Thanks.

Samir

That totally depends on what actual hardware you have. One possible scenario would be to set up a SPAN session (SwitchPort ANalyzer) which all traffic flows through (monitor the link between the switch and the router) and capture that information using ntop (http://www.ntop.org/products/ntop/)

implement ClearOS in the network

Hello Samir,

You can use cisco netflow option (if available in your router IOS). Check the below link.

Or if budget permits, you can go with a proxy server and deploy in transperant mode.

Hi,

I configured ISA Server in transparent mode and used as a SecureNAT Client. Confgured Clients Gateway pointing to ISA Server.

Thanks for your support.

I would try NTOP on a server. For your ADSL traffic will create really nice statistics.
