Now I am going to start the installation of the PRTG.




























It has been completed the installation, after the instillation the PRTG run the Network Discovery.
which discover the whole devices in the same subset including network devices.

if the public community is enabled on the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)  then it will discovered the interface as well.

Now I am going to show you to add the interface of the HP A5120 Switch. & CISCO SWITCH


first i am going to enable the snmp setting to the switches




Now open the PRTG and add a GROUP named SWITCHES and add the switches in the group.

like this :














And select the all connected interfaces just like the above images, also select the Additional channels 

Errors In & Out







so we can check the status of that interface that received any error or above criteria.



and wait for 30 seconds so that the PRTG will receive the SNMP data.



and the right side we can see the current bandwidth utilization of the interface just like below:

The above information's are very useful we can check the broadcast in & out, error in & out multicast in & out, unicast in & out, Total Traffic, traffic in & traffic out, unknown protocol and downtime as well.

so we have the lots of things that can help us to troubleshoot the network issue.

In PRTG lots of the things that can help us to troubleshoot the network, i love it. 

Thanks PRTG
