Monitor port usage.

[Marty99]

Does anyone know of any type of utility to look at a switch and tell me the operational status of the ports (up/down), as well as the description for that port. I want to run this against a number of switches in my network.

Thanks in advance.

Are these Cisco Catalyst switches? If so, most IOS-based Catalyst switches have what's called the Cluster Management Suite (CMS) software installed. (Can also be downloaded from cisco.com if you have a CCO account) The CMS is a web-based switch management software that only requires a web browser and Java on the admin PC.

You can go here to see some screenshots:

This is real similiar to Ciscoview/Cisco works isn't it. I was looking for some type of report I could run against it to tell me active/inactive reports.

We have Ciscoworks, is there an easy way to do it in there.

Thanks,
