Good morning!
I need to find out a way to monitor speeds from our main switch to other switches throughout the building. Basically from our Main switch to each closet. Anyone know of a good way or program? Price is not an option on this. I am open to all suggesstions.

I stand corrected, Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor also shows bps for a link. This app would be used for long term trending. I'm sure there are other apps like MRTG that can also track this.

"C:\Program Files\SolarWinds\Toolset\Bandwidth-Gauges.exe"

Do you have SNMP configured on the server? Is it Windows or Linux?

i just enabled traffic on my asa to allow snmp traffic to this server. Its a windows server 2003. Can you tell me how to enable it?

Here's a couple of links-
Install SNMP on the server

Configure SNMP

Let me know when this is done and we'll drive on. You don't need to configure traps, just the community.

Netflow, the MIB tools, and the Subnet Calculator are great. Their Network Performance Monitor product is sweet too. They have a demo on their website, check it out.
