Hi, was wondering if there is some software, probably on the router, that tells me how much i have downloaded and uplaoded ? have a ADSL D-link router at home, just curious as uk online just put a possible cap on all their services
I use a program called DU meter which runs off of the pc. So it monitors how much bandwidth the pc uses but not how much goes through the router if there is more than one pc that uses your connection.
but can the DU meter tell you how much you've used at the end of the day or month and not just at the time when downloading or uploading?
yeah it recoreds and tell you how much data you have transfered everyday. You get daily, weekly, and monthly reports aswell as a projected totals. Its a very good program only found out that it recored how much you downloaded the other day
but if i transfer a 100 gig file between 2 pc's it would not show an accurate view of how much i download... hmmm oh well... thanks anyways
Can I ask what you're using for that graph? I'm using mrtg at the moment on my linux server querying my cisco stuff, and I don't get graphs as nice as that.... *edit just read rrdtool on the side of it. Now to figure out how to get it working
What you can do is have a network card in each PC that connects to the internet, and another for internal traffic. Set DUMeter to only monitor the internet card and that way any internal traffic won't be recorded.
Looks like Cacti to me - http://www.cacti.net/ I really need to look into MRTG alternatives at work, but the amount of time required to setup the monitoring on > 200 devices is a bit of a problem at present.
Indeed. The URI kinda gives it away The Cisco's SNMP is jolly nice: The 4 switch ports respond on the 877 (they didn't on the 837 ) too. Cisco's MIB browser is your friend. Just a PITA they had to change the OID between the 837 and 877 for attenuation and SNR margin
I checked the URI before posting, but I thought before I looked that it was Cacti. The switch ports don't respond on my 837 either, but then at least one of them is buggered anyway. Time to either let work buy me an 877 or bring home the spare 1841.
The 877 does VLAN's as well, which I'd find a bit useful at home. Problem is, the 837 was rather pricey as it is. What's the attenuation and SNR margin OID for the 837? couldn't seem to find it when I poked around last time...
I found 1.3.6.1.2.1.10.94.1.1.2.1.4 which translates as adslAtucCurrSnrMgn, but that doesn't seem to return anything from the router. Maybe I have to go enable something.......
