For most router/switch/firewall devices, snmp is the way to go.
Although snmp does require quite a bit of configuration depending on the
extent
of monitoring you want to do.

What are ways that anyone has found to monitor switches and routers
effectivly, other than adding a service to them.  i have WAN locations
that i would like to monitor but the switches/routers in between would
all stay pending if i dont have the host up service on them.  i only
want them to be checked if there is an issue and nagios is back tracing.
