Are you in charge of a network that uses Cisco routers or switches? Do you need a traffic monitoring solution that will tell you how much bandwidth is being used? Paessler Router Traffic Grapher can help you with all your Cisco monitoring demands.

PRTG is the affordable, easy-to-use software for monitoring bandwidth usage and other network parameters via SNMP. It works with Cisco routers, HP Procurve switches and many other devices, letting you log the amount of data flowing through, monitor CPU utilization, check disk space usage and much, much more - and it only takes minutes to setup!

When you use PRTG to read the traffic data from your Cisco router, it displays the results in three graphs. This way, you will quickly and easily be able to see how much bandwidth has been used over the last 8-96 hours (kbit/sec), and transferred data counts for the last 14 days or for the last 12 months. Naturally, the monitoring of your Cisco router or switch needs to be left running all the time if you want to get the correct results. To see all the features of PRTG, please click here.

This Cisco monitoring solution is available in two different version. The Free Edition is available for both personal and commercial use, but is limited to monitoring only one Cisco router. If you want to monitor more devices/ports or if you want to run it as a NT service, you need the Pro Edition.
