<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>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks</P>

<DIV></DIV>> 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>> Bernard,
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>> 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>>
<DIV></DIV>> Can you please advise how I can overcome my this problem ?
Thanks
<DIV></DIV>>
