OK, but if the switch port stops forwarding data, then the port on the router
should not response to ping, right? It is my understanding when a port on a
Cisco router responses to ping, it sends the packet out that port, therefore if
the switch is not forwarding packets, the port will not response. Keep in mind
that I have not tested this, I read it somewhere.

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.
Please advise.
Thanks

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).

great if you could teach me how can I able to configure my netview to know what

show up on a graph so that anyone can see and figure it out that weather the

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.
