I am currently wanting to monitor portDuplex on about 50 Cisco switches, that have a variety of different interface numbers. The problem I have is, that I cannot seem to see any way of monitoring in mass the SNMP values. The OID I am using is: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.10, but each interface on the switch can be queried for its portDuplex SNMP value, so on a 24 port switch I have like 30 sub values:
G1/0/1: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.10.1.1
G1/0/2: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.10.1.2
G1/0/3: 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.10.1.3
etc...
In the host monitor software, I cannot see any way of telling it check all instances under 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.1.4.1.1.10.1 for a specific value (as I only want to alert if a port is in half-duplex mode). At the moment, the only way I can see of monitoring port duplex is to add each OID individually, which would take me about year to complete and each device would have about 200-300 tests associated to it (as I also want to monitor other things, like port errors etc).
I am sure that there is a really easy way of doing what I want to do, but for the life of me I cannot see how to do it! I really need some help with this.
Thanks in advance
