[mrtg] Incoming and Outgoing traffic direction

[andylow]

Hi,

I'm a newbie to MRTG.

I have a machine connected to one of the module/interface of a cisco router
and
I use a thrid machine to monitor the interface.

I'm confuse of the graph, does the incoming traffic ( green ) imply that
traffic from the outside world thru
the router to my machine OR my machine to the router to the outside world.
And vice visa for outgoing traffice ( blue ).

Thanks,

Andy

Greetings Andy,

lets say you have this config:

{ISP}s0 -----------s0 [ your router ]e0------> your clients/MRTG

If you monitor your routers serial interface " s0 " the green lines
will represent " INCOMING " data. This means data that cam from( or
through ) your ISP to your routers interface

The blue Lines would represent " OUTGOING " data. This is the data
that came from your s0 to your ISP.

Now if you monitor e0:

same thing,..green is the "INCOMING" data. that means,..data from
your clients to the routers Ethernet interface.
Blue is the "OUTGOING".


--- man it's early for me,..I haven't had enough coffee,..I hope I
explained that right :)

To make it easy, just imagine yourself inside of the device being
monitored. Then incoming and outgoing should make sense.
