i am looking for a software that will monitor the 8 switches we have (3548) and one 3508 - i need to monitor the status and daily activity. If something goes wrong i can get notify.
any ideas will be appreciated
thanks
 
If you just want to monitor their reachability you could us WhatsUP. It just sends a ping and then notifies you if the ping is not returned. If you need to monitor bandwidth, CPU Util, temperature, etc, then you will need a SNMP software program like HP OpenView or CiscoWorks 2000.

thanks - i will check out those softwares -
 
WhatsUp Gold is bad. The Solarwinds Network Monitor program is soo much better. If up/down is all you want use ws_watch (eventually evolved into WhatsUp)
