Cisco switch and routers

[Marc Powell]

It all depends on what you are wanting to check. Just off the top of my head there's check_snmp, check_ifoperstatus, check_ifstatus, check_ping, and check_tcp, all default plugins that could be used to check all kinds of things on cisco routers and switches and there are probably others as well (I think there's a check_bgpstate in the contrib directory). If none of those suit you then you always have the capability of creating your own plugins easily to check whatever it is you want to check. The general rule of thumb is if you can do something from a Unix command line, even if it's very convoluted, you can probably make a plugin for Nagios to do the same thing. All that really matters is the exit status.
