Partha,

 Yes you can. Use the following IP accounting command on the LAN
interface:

Gateway2(config-if)#ip accounting mac-address ?
  input Source MAC address on received packets
  output Destination MAC address on transmitted packets

Then find the MAC address using the following:

Gateway2#sh interfaces fastEthernet 0/0 mac-accounting
FastEthernet0/0
  Output (481 free)
    0050.7310.e2d1(0 ): 2458 packets, 221362 bytes, last: 68472ms ago
    0004.2304.8452(245): 93491 packets, 50279872 bytes, last: 1644ms
ago
    00d0.8303.2f87(248): 3280255 packets, 2171M bytes, last: 600ms ago
                  Total: 18936275 packets, 15770M bytes
Gateway2#

HTH,

Subject: How to find which host generates most traffic

On a router, is it possible to find the which mac-address or host in a
LAN
is generating the most traffic? Suppose a host machine is sending heavy
traffic across the WAN, is it possible to locate that machine from the
router, or atleast locate the segment where the host is?
 
Thanks.
