PM<BR><B>To:</B> vpn@lists.shmoo.com<BR><B>Subject:</B> [VPN] Cisco IPSec
Tunnel Bandwidth Utilization<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>I have a Cisco ASA 5520
supporting multiple VPNs - both remote-access and Lan-to-Lan. I would
like to monitor the bandwidth utilization on a single IPSec Lan-to-Lan
tunnel. The particular tunnel I want to monitor is quite unstable and
each time the VPN goes down and re-establishes itself the interface index
changes thus changing the SNMP OID used to measure the tx and rx bytes for
that respective tunnel. Is anyone familiar with a network management app
that can handle this case and continue to monitor a tunnel over the
long-term? I'm currently using MRTG and can write a script to try to
accomplish this myself but I'd prefer a cleaner solution since my coding
skills lean towards the novice side.
