If you're monitoring a router with just a few interfaces, you can use it to look for the interface by name -- $ ./check_ifoperstatus -H <MYROUTER>-C <MYREADCOMM>-d GigabitEthernet1/2 OK: Interface GigabitEthernet1/2 (index 2) is up. If you're monitoring a router with lots of interfaces, a friendlier way of using check_ifoperstatus is to specify the index directly instead of trying to figure it out (the index is the important part). Note that possibility exists the index can change on router reboot. -- ./check_ifoperstatus -H <MYROUTER>-C <MYREADCOMM>-k 2 OK: Interface GigabitEthernet1/2 (index 2) is up. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
