On my network map, I want to see which areas are using the most bandwidth and network traffic per my manager but all i get is 0% on the lines on the map. Is there a setting im not selecting?
If your switch/router provide this information via snmp and spiceworks has this in the inventory, the lines with highest bandwidth use are bolder then the others.
It may took some time for collecting all data into SW.
Go to a switch in your inventory and click on a port. What does the upcoming window shows?
Spiceworks uses SNMP to discover the data needed to produce the bandwidth graphs. Spiceworks automatically adds anInterfaces
tab if it is able to collect the data from your network device. If you are not seeing this tab please try the following tips:
- Ensure your switch/router is equipped with the latest updates, hotifxes, etc. This is an important first step in determining why the Interfaces tab is not showing.
- Ensure your device has SNMP enabled. Please consult your device's management console for more information.
- Ensure the SNMP Community String set in your device is the same as the one you've entered in Spiceworks.
- Verify if your device shares bandwidth information. Lower end models may not share their management information via SNMP.
- A device needs to support the Q-Bridge MIB for Spiceworks to retrieve VLAN information
- A device needs to support the IP-MIB and IF-MIB for Spiceworks to retrieve interface information.
- For more advanced troubleshooting you can use free SNMP tools to see if your router exposes this information. You can use tools like: Getif or snmpwalk. Read more about SNMP on wikipedia
