Hi Experts,
We have one backbone 8600 switch that we experienced problem lately. The CPU utilization is very high, and it drops. Lastweek we had big problem when the core switch was outage. We were in deep trouble. We don't have redundancy or clustering or any fail over plan. My question is does anyone know where i can get utility to monitor this CPU+RAM of this NT 8600 switch and as well as those 450 switch that are hanging in the closets.
Also, if you have used and are using any network monitoring + servers (DiskSpace + Ram + CPU)product. What would you recommend?
Thanks in advanced!

I was going to recommend an SNMP monitoring tool, then I read Mr. Taylor's answer above. He has the right idea, but it requires Unix/linux (Windows now?) and the ability to configure it. RRDTOOL, which uses MRTG is a great monitoring tool, and I would highly recommend it, but I don't know if anyone there is knowledgeable enough in your area. You could simply get any SNMP tool to monitor those SNMP values. I just did a search on the Internet for one and found a program called "Analyse It". Maybe someone here has experience with a better Windows graphical SNMP reporting tool.
