| does anybody know if the PIX's have some built in monitoring tools or techniques???
Or what is the best way to monitor your cisco equipment without having to buy some $$$$$$$$ solution?????
I have routers, switches, load balancers, and PIX's.
thanks | |

Head over to the lounge and look through the "File Depository". There are some tools there that might help. There are also some demos for fairly cheap products . . . but they're pretty useful:

| depends on what you want to monitor. I know that you can monitor logging, ie the tearing down of packets. You can see what is trying to come in and go out and what is tearing it down. In the PIX you can do this by using the 'show log' command. To clear it use the Enable command 'clear logging' | |

| Pixlog is a pretty neat perl script that can interpret the pix's syslog messages. You can get it from http://cs.calvin.edu/~mpost89/pixlog/ and you'll need to know how to fiddle with syslog on a unix box. It's not much and it's not real time, but hey, it's free.
