you need to put in the config files of the nodes connected to the switch that 
the switch is a parent device. I do not have the syntax in front of me, but I 
think it is just
    parent        <device name>

Subject: [Nagios-users] Alerting

Now, I know this can be done but here is the question.

Say our core switch goes down, I obviously don't want to be alerted about every 
single device that has subsequently gone down as well.  I know since the core 
is down, everything is down.  How do I setup these types of relationships so 
alerting is dependent other another object being up.

I would get alerts because we are using a SMS gateway and it would be able to 
send SMS messages to our cellphones.


Thanks
