<div>With Bridged Mode, there is no need to subnet/segment your network. The bridge can be on the same subnet as the Cisco ETH subnet. Incase you want to use the FreeBSD as router, then segmenting necessary. Use the Bridge to trap and poll each device too. Many functions can be done but simplest is that of Monitor and Graphing.</div>

<div>Anyway, its upto FreeBSD gurus and yourselves. </div>

<div>Hi all, </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just been reading the cisco thread about reading/graphing traffic stats. I&#39;m bogged down with too much and I know FreeBSD can easily provide the answer to everyone&#39;s graphing needs. FreeBSD works too well even in bridged mode. Can anyone do a MRTG solution ( 5 minute average graphing, user account access and protocol analyser ) on FreeBSD and market for themselves to those who need the graphing solution? </div>



<div> </div>
<div>If you are a network admin/edge admin, would you like to have a device in bridged mode ( not transparent in the network but requires an ip ) that will help you graph and perform internet traffic stats which may aslo help you discuss your SLAs with your provider. </div>



<div> </div>
<div>Hope you all will be able to connect on this one if you have the time, between developer and admin.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just sharing a thot and suggestion with fellow skunks....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Rgds.</div>
