We are running a student lab with 25 Mac SEs, 2 IW IIs and a Mac II
server running AppleShare 2.0 and Apple's PrintServer. All this is
connected via LocalTalk and also to a MultiGate gate. This means we
get quite a few users from outside zones.
I want to know what sort of monitoring tools are available that I
can use to monitor the network. The only tools I have seen are
Peek (really crude but gets the packets) and Traffic Watch.
The sorts of things we would like to be able to monitor are
a) sampling time
b) error rates
c) packets/sec
d) sizes of packets
e) type of protocol used by packets
f) node to node communication
g) effective transport rate of network
h) and more.
A question about AppleShare 2.0: What is the limit on the number
of users who can be connected to the file server? AS 1.0 had a limit
of 32 and 2.0 has a limit of at least 43. Is this configurable?
