> Anyone like to share how they monitor switch ports? Here, we use MRTG to graph the switch ports, and the routers2 frontend to MRTG to make it pretty. Also, the routers2 frontend has a Nagios plugin to allow the Nagios data to be displayed as well -- and a portstatus plugin to show the current individual port configuration and status.
For Nagios, we use a simple ping service and then use the hostextinfo url to link to the MRTG graphs page. On some switches, we also have a CPU use service. We also have an SNMP trap service and the switches send SNMP traps to the Nagios host which are parsed and relayed to the appropriate service. Port up/down etc generate traps which can in turn generate alerts. Finally, for key switch ports, and additional service can be defined for that particular port status OID. It should be possible to do something similar for port traffic thresholding, but we dont. Steve Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
