Is there a way to log internet traffic from the inside interface to an internal server ? If so, can you explain how it is done. Thanks



what do you mean by log Internet traffic . capture the entire content of each packets ? . display the source and destination IP addresses, ports

Let me try to explain, What I am trying to do is log the destination IP's from the internal network to the internet so I can review the sites visited at a later time. I know they have loggin software that can be run on a server but I was trying to see if it is possible to log it from the router to a server using the logging feature in CISCO IOS

Does that make sense ?

yes it does

check and see if the Cisco router or switch in question supports the Netflow feature.

see Cisco doc

Thank you, That is exactly what I am looking for. The 4500m router that I am running currently has IOS ver (C4500-JK8S-M), Version 12.2(23d) installed. Where in the commands do I find NETFLOW ?

Netflow requires CEF (Cisco Express Forwarding)

check if CEF is enabled "show ip cef"

NETFLOW whitepapers

For IOS NETFLOW commands see

CEF is enabled on the router. So I will make the assumption (which I hate to do) is that even though the whitepapers and docs are written for the Catalyst 4500 switch, it would still work on the 4500M series ROUTERs.
