Thanks,<br />
My network Admin is away at the moment so i don't want to access the switch quite yet.<br />
I used MS network monitor to see if I could see if any systems were excessively broadcasting.<br />
<br />
I'm showing 3 systems with over 300 broadcasts in about 5 minutes.<br />
Is that pretty normal?

Hello Everyone,<br />
<br />
I'm a total noob with switches. A remote location is experience a local slowdown on systems connected to a Cisco 3500 series switch.<br />
The admin there suspects that a nic on one of the systems might be defective and chatty therefore causing the slowdown.<br />
Is there a command for the switch that would show the traffic accross each port to help narrow down the culpret?<br />
Or is there a better way to find a chatty NIC on the network?<br />
<br />
Help please<br />
Thanks.

Slow LAN speeds over Cisco Switch

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.
