IPAccounting retrieves IP accounting data from Cisco routers and switches. Administrators can view the bytes and packets transferred between specific source and destination IP addresses using the software.
In addition to the IP-Accounting Table fetching, IPAccounting also allows network administrators to monitor the status of interfaces that belong to a switch or router. The software is built on SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which is widely accepted across the industry for managing computer networks. It supports SNMP v1 and SNMP v2c, making it versatile in its application.
The IPAccounting utility has a variety of potential applications. It can be used for:
1. Fetching IP-Accounting table data from Cisco Switch/Router.
2. Monitoring interface status (up/down).
Overall, IPAccounting is a useful tool for network administrators who need to keep track of IP accounting data and interface statuses on Cisco Network Devices. Its support for SNMP v1 and v2c make it accessible to a wide range of users in different network management contexts.
