B1: Monitoring Network traffic of each PC (or connection) in a network using a switch/router with SNMP support
· Enable SNMP on the switch or router or device and also set the security feature to allow PRTG to access the device
· For a windows PC install generic SNMP software from the Windows CD (see corresponding knowledge base article)
· It is a good idea to note down which PC (or device or leased line, etc.) is connected to which port for later reference
· Start the "Add Sensor" wizard, choose SNMP, enter the IP and the SNMP login data of the router/switch
· In the checkbox list check the ports that you want to monitor and finish the wizard
· Now you will get graphs of traffic for each device that is connected to one of the ports of your device
· It is a good idea to double click each sensor in the sensor list and edit the sensor name with name of the actual connection
· If you have several switches/routers/devices you must repeat this procedure for each device until you have created a sensor for each port
