Monitor Bandwidth used

[cfiegert]

Hi

Just curious if there is a way to monitor the traffic flowing through an Aironet 1200 series device to allow for billing per IP/MAC address??

I can seem to find anything on this...

Like hubs, wireless devices are also broadcast devices, hence you would always get a consolidated usage rather then per IP or MaC usage. I don't know how far a sniffer would help in this circumstances.

Hi,

You may want to look at a management device such as the Allot Net-enforcer.

This will allow both IP based bandwidth management and monthly accounting for all your clients as well many other features.

Our Cisco wireless network covers over 20 communities and we have utilized this device since day 1 to manage all of our clients including QOS for business and residential services.

Hope this helps..

Regards

Kevin
