Anyone know of a good one. Where you can manag a users bandwidth by IP, port of username login? Cisco BBSM was killed...

By managae I assume you mean control who uses what amount and what service uses what amount. Do you mean internal (manage bandwith across your internal network/intranet) or external (such as internet usage/acces)?

Manage internet bandwidth for users behind a firewall. I would like to say "VLAN 3" gets 800k or go smaller & say "fa0/6" gets 800k. The ultimate would be where a user opens internet explorer & it shoots them to a custom page I created, you login & your user login has specific bandwidth throttling. I could really use something like this. Ciscos BBSM was really cool but couldn't handle the load. There has to be some broadband devices that do this? Wouldn't you think...

Depends on how much money you have to spend and how many users you're supporting behind that firewall. Sonicwall has a excellent solution for this for small to medium size businesses. If you google you'll find hundreds of solutions; hardware, software, and combinations. For my larger clients we I usually implement a robust hardware solution and garner the help of internal development guys to customize interfaces and bandwith management solutions. For smaller companies I favor the different sonicwall solutions, (put them between your cisco stuff and your network or between your cisco and the broadband). Sonicwall is a snap to setup and training someone interal to administrate it is usually pretty easy to pull off.

Thank you. I will look into Sonic Wall..I did some googling but didn't have much luck. I have about 5000 users that are going to be filtered through this device..Thanks again for your reply. I'll let you know what I come up with.

hello garv221,
maybe you can try Trend Micro InterScan Web Security Suite. The demo version will run for 1 month - not bad to take a test... ; )
