[Nagios-users] Layer 2 connectivity awareness?

2009-03-11 Thread Victor Lee
In the course of my learning (just starting out) how to work with Nagios I
have found that it isn't aware of layer 2 connections. In other words, if I
have 2 switches with a trunk between them Nagios doesn't seem to provide me
a way to either note that manually on the map nor does it seem to be aware
of that type of connectivity. The same applies to servers, there doesn't
seem to be a way to identify which switch a server is connected to. Now I
admit this might be due to my limited knowledge of the product so I ask the
members here. Am I correct in this assessment?

[Nagios-users] Adding hosts to new installation

2009-03-09 Thread Victor Lee
I'm pretty new at this. I just installed Nagios 3.X on Ubuntu 8.10. I have
my first host (Cisco 6509) being polled. The quick start guide worked fine
and I followed the instructions on monitoring routers and switches. However
how do I get Nagios to monitor other switches? Do I just keep adding lines
to the switch.cfg template?
