[plug] Monitoring IP

[Earnshaw, Mike]

Pluggers,

I am looking for a program that will allow me to monitor the IP traffic
on a router in our network. The router is not connected directly to any
machine but a port on the network itself. I don't want to have to pay
heaps for the software upgrade on the router to do this (according to
the salesman :). Something like tcpdump or MRTG I suppose. As far as I
see the crux is that the router is not piped through another machine.

Any pointers from more knowledgeable persons please. Thanks
