there is CA eHealth or (better) CA Performance Center reporting about over/underutilzed, unused&used ports/devices/systems, producing Performance and CapMgmt relevant reports and Dashboards and graphs and other candy stuff... But the best is, you don't need to run&watch a report, you'll be notified (mail,trap,msg,...) if a port/switch/device is over/underutilized or has anomalies, etc.. while analyzing the actual performance data. hope this helps, ScAn
