Re: [nv-l] Discovering Non-IP based ports

[Paul Sandler <paul@swebs.com>]

Does Switch Analyzer allow you to be able to take actions on non-IP 
addressed ports?
I'd like to page people if one of the serial ports has a problem.  I'm not 
sure I really need
to have an icon on a submap, but I'd like to be able to recognize a problem 
situation and then
page or email someone that it occurred and be able to identify the resource 
with the problem.
