<P class=MsoNormal>But there can be a chance that the particular port stops 
forwarding the data. Now the physical link is up. I had this problem because I 
have 2 ports redundant and one stopped forwarding the data but the link was up. 
So I will like more to monitor the port on switch.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please advise.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt; How about monitoring the port on the router, if the port on the 
switch, which connects to this router, goes downm the router port should turn 
red. Example: Router 4500 port E0 goes to port F0/1 on a Cisco 2924, when port 
F0/1 goes down the router port E0 should turn red (unable to ping).

<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; Bernard, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; Thanks for your reply. Let me again give you some more 
explaination what I am trying to do here. Let you know I am little new to 
netview. I need to monitor the port on which my router is connected. Monitor 
means I need to know when this port will become faulty and goes down or come up 
etc. It will be great if you could teach me how can I able to configure my 
netview to know what weather the traffic is flowing through the port or not. 
Can I pull this data to show up on a graph so that anyone can see and figure it 
out that weather the traffic is going through that particular port or not. Just 
to let u know my target is only PORT not whole the switch. Actually I have 
couple of incident in which my port when bad but I was not able to detect this. 
I will only get the alert if whole switch will go down. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; Can you please advise how I can overcome my this problem ? 
Thanks 
<DIV></DIV>&gt;

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Hello Shella, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;what do you mean with 'monitor the switch port' ? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Do you mean check the status (up/down) of this interface ? 
Then netmon will 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;do that automatically for you. If you want to receive 
specific traps 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;regarding this interface then you will have to configure 
the switch to send 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;traps to Netview. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;If you want to be aware of the traffic going through this 
interface then you 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;will have to configure data collection. 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Regards, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;Bernard Baudoux

Catalyst switch ! 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; Hi All, 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; I have a cisco router connected on a cisco switch 
port. I am using 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; netview 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; to monitor other 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; devices in my network and so as these two devices. 
Can anyone guide me how 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; do I monitor a port 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; on a cisco switch via netview ? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; so that I can monitor the port on which my router is 
connected ? Anyone 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; have 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; any good idea ? 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; -------- 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; | Switch | 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; | | 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; --------

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; | | 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; -------- 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; &gt; Thanks
