Server/Router with more than 1 interface

[Herman (ISTD)]

Hi Hugo, thank you very much for your suggestion.

Currently, I do the same thing with :

define command{
        command_name    check_interface
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp_cisco_ifstatus -H
$HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -i $ARG2$
        }

However, is it possible to change HOST status in Status Map to "DOWN" if
one of the ip address could not be contacted ?

Best Regards,

Herman
