IP Accounting Miner

IP Accounting Miner is a handy program that grabs IP accounting data straight from Cisco routers. It does this by using SNMP to poll a router, which means it asks the router for information. Once it gets that info, it creates a neat .csv file. This file includes important details like Source Address, Destination Address, Source Name, Destination Name, Netbios user names, Packet count, and Byte count.

How IP Accounting Miner Works

So here’s how it works: when you set up IP Accounting Miner, you connect it to your Cisco router. The program sends requests to the router using SNMP. This is just a fancy way of saying it's asking the router for its accounting data. After gathering all that info, it compiles everything into one organized .csv file.

Why Use IP Accounting Miner?

You might wonder why anyone would need this tool. Well, if you're managing a network and want to keep an eye on traffic patterns or user activity, this software is super useful! You get valuable insights about who’s using what and how much data they're sending or receiving.
