Here's a Clip:
An important part of running a network is to always be aware of what is happening on the network. As a network administrator, you should be familiar with the network's normal day-to-day activities in order to better pin-point problems or other non-normal behaviors.
Network monitoring has become an important function for a network administrator. Successful network monitoring includes watching for trouble spots, performance bottlenecks, and network inconsistencies. By generating network statistics reports about the network, you can gather information about the network that can be used to justify new equipment or equipment replacement, to set up security, and to better troubleshoot hot spots.
