What model and software revision are you using? Are you looking for aggregate stats or packet-by-packet monitoring?

Port utilization - Bandwidth monitoring tool based on SNMP (ie SolarWinds) VLAN Monitoring - Port/VLAN Span with Sniffer Source/Destination Traffic - Turn up netflow on router or switched virtual interface of that vlan, and log to a netflow collection server (fluke, solarwinds, cisco)

There are free options for most of the above, you'll just have to surf and find them or find trials if you don't have necessary capital.

Some possibilities:

root@charles-laptop:~# apt-cache search netflow flow-tools - collects and processes NetFlow data flow-tools-dev - development files for flow-tools fprobe - export captured traffic to remote NetFlow Collector fprobe-ng - export captured traffic to remote NetFlow Collector (meta) fprobe-ulog - export captured traffic to remote NetFlow Collector (ULOG version) libcflow-perl - perl module for analyzing raw IP flow files written by cflowd nfdump - netflow capture daemon pmacct - promiscuous mode traffic accountant root@charles-laptop:~#

This is on Ubuntu 8.04.

Might be of use to you.
