B3: Monitoring Network traffic for each PC using a switch with monitoring port

·      See A3 for monitoring port basics

·      Configure the switch(es) to send a copy of all network packets to the IP of the machine running PRTG

·      Create one new Packet Sniffer sensor for each PC to be monitored and apply a filter based on the MAC address or IP of each PC you want to monitor

·      Or: If you do not need long term accounting data for each PC and only want to know the current and recent traffic by IP, you can create just one Packet Sniffer sensor and enable the Toplist feature based on IP.

·      Note: If you have several switches/routers you may not see all traffic if you only monitor one device
