Aggregated link statistics

Is there any way I can use the 3com tools to track the stats for aggregated links on switches (5500 and 3870 models)? While I can track ports individually, I can't monitor the AL as one entity and some monitoring tasks are missing the individual ports comprising the AL entirely.



I'm trying to determine what the peak traffic on the link has been (ie. at 7pm yesterday, there was 1.5GBps of data on the AL) as I'm trying to determine if the AL is properly spec'd out.

Re: Aggregated link statistics

I ended up downloading network director and using that to view the history on my AL.



I find the way 3com reports utilization (-3.5%) really counter-intuitive. What's wrong with saying utilization is 3.5% or 96.5% of the link is free?
