Hello,

I have a Catalyst 4000 running the CatOS. I am looking for a way to
find my bandwidth utilization for each port to establish a baseline
before we implement VIoP next month.

I have been using the TopN Reports, but these don't seem to be the
best way to go about it.

My questions are:

1.) Is there a better way to document baseline bandwidth utilization
then with the TopN Reports?

2.) If answer #1 is No (or not really) is there a way to transfer all
the accumulated reports off of the switch to a TFTP server?

Thanks for any answers in advance.

If you have money to spend then have a look at the SolarWinds suite.
Otherwise you could try MRTG.

I love my SolarWinds EE. Best group of tools ever.
