OK, me again. Going to ask this in the General Networking section since it’s more about monitoring traffic and less about Grandstream phones.
Showing my novice-trying-to-be-professional side here, but what is the easiest and most feasible/economical way to monitor traffic in/out of an extension or switch port on an Omada network?
As I mentioned in a different thread previously, we have 2 or 3 extensions in areas that don’t get much use at all that are showing ridiculously high traffic sent and received (like 500GB+) whereas other extensions will show a few GB maybe. It was suggestion to monitor the traffic and see what it is or where it’s going. I’d love to. What’s the best method for doing just that?
Is this something that can be done within the Omada interface itself or do I need to deploy some software or add hardware somewhere on the network for this? I’ve watched several videos regarding network monitoring and many of them are great looking tools but I get a little lost on the deployment.
And just to be clear before someone jumps on me for not knowing this: I do not do networking full time or anything. This system is deployed in a church environment where I have helped get their network up and going and I monitor it for operability. It’s Omada gear throughout plus a Grandstream UCM6302A and a variety of GRP phone models (about 12 or so extensions).
Help, input, or even chastisement is welcome. I like to learn new things and try to always research before I head into a task. Monitoring was one thing I did not dive into before deploying the network and phone system, however.
