Switch Monitoring

Switches are the backbone of your LAN. Any problem in your switches affects a large proportion of your LAN users. Implementing a proactive switch monitoring system helps you detect problems early and avoid potential problems.

OpManager's switch monitoring functionality automatically discovers switches in your network and places them on a special switch map . All the switch ports are also discovered and intuitively placed on the map.

Using OpManager’s switch monitoring capability, operators can gain visibility into the status and availability of switch ports. OpManager actively monitors switch ports and quickly notifies operators whenever a switch port or the switch goes down. Operators can setup OpManager to monitor only critical ports, an industry best practice for Switch monitoring, that prevents unnecessary alarms from being generated. OpManager also offers visibility into spanning tree status showing which ports are blocked and which ones are forwarding.
