[BBLISA] Pix Syslog Analyzer

[Nathan Faust]

Thanks for the thought.

I would say that half the employees are on a managed switch, leaving the
other half on a series of unmanaged switches.  I'm currently looking for
one fully managed switch that I can put everyone on.

Have you thought about SNMP polling the Ethernet switch ports the
employees are connected to? If you already are using MRTG to monitor
your router, just add the switch ports in. This, of course, assumes you
are using a managed switch. If you are using an unmanaged switch you
won't have this capability.
