What kind of switches do you have?
I don't know if there is a plugin for such a test, but I think it can easily 
be written using SNMP and a scriptinglanguage of your choice.

Even if I don't understand why you want to monitor that, SNMP is your friend 
here. You just need the according MIB according to your switch.
