Don't you think this could create a big overhead that will be in excess of using a howitzer to hunt litlle flies? I do not think you want to know too much about individual switch ports. Why would nagios go ape everytime I reboot my laptop? I would monitor the hosts behind the switch ports that you care about. Perhaps trigger alerts on real odd errors on your switch. But trying to monitor it all will outweight the little benefits you might gain in effort and needless alerts. Hugo. - -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hugo.vanderkooij.org/ PGP/GPG?
