Monitor VLANs with Netflow

Votes:

0

We use VLANs for client Internet access and would like to monitor bandwidth usage. Thus far, I have been having a real issue getting that setup. Is this even possible? If so, please point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hello,

from PRTG's side, the sensor just processes the incoming flows. If you can get a switch or some software get to do it for a VLAN, PRTG can be used. As alternative, you might want to have a look at the packet sniffer sensor. That one can be a bit more difficult to setup, as the sensor works only on NICs present on the probe the sensor is running on.
