first-timer here. I will try to explain this as clearly as possible, as I'm not an engineer or anything.
My Router: ASUS RT-AC87U - DD-WRT firmware installed, SNMP enabled.
Topology: I have two switches off the router. behind switch 1: 2 W8 Desktops behind switch 2: TV, Roku, Xbox.
On wireless: 2 Rokus, 4 iPhones, W8 laptop, chromebook, 2 Kindles
What I'm looking to do: I would like to be able to see traffic data to each individual IP I choose, particularly the rate at which it's flowing. Mostly because there are some devices sucking large amounts of data and I want to understand what they are, where they are receiving the data from and at what rate. And partly because I'm a geek and granular data is just something I prefer.
I installed PRTG and put an SNMP trap on my router, but the data isn't very useful to me. It put probes on there like eth0, vlan1, vlan2, br0 etc. I tested with my machine when no other device in the house was streaming. What I saw was about 30K kbps, on eth0 and about half of that on vlan1. I'm sure there's an explanation for this that I don't understand, but at the end of the day - I stil can't get what I need when two different traps are displaying 2 different speeds for only 1 device. Plus the wireless devices are mostly what I'm interested in.
Is there a way I can configure the traps so it's 1:1? Will it require scripting? Do I need another solution besides PRTG? Is any of this even possible on a home router?
I will thank you all in advance for any insight/solutions you can provide, and I'll apologize as well if this is a redundant question that I couldn't find the thread to.
Thanks.
