Identify Switch Ports in the UP status

Hi Guys

I was googling for a script to do this but can't find one. Does anyone have an NCM script to identify the ports on each Cisco switch that are UP?

I have to use NCM for this as we do not monitor all the ports in NPM.

Thanks

Brian

You can setup a job to push a command script to all your devices. If they are Cisco they will support the blow command that will only show up interfaces. If they are other vendors I am not sure if they will support it.

show int status | e dis|not

For NXOS you can use the below as well.

show int statu | grep connected

Trying to do that in NCM is really a case of trying to tighten a bolt with a hammer, just not the tool for that job. NCM doesn't really even acknowledge things like interfaces, it looks at things at the config file level. You could set up a compliance report indicating which ports are shutdown administratively but it would have no insight into interfaces that are unplugged and such. You might look at UDT, list price on 2500 ports is less than $2k so it is pretty affordable and it keeps track of switch interface status, the MAC addresses of connected devices, and can be linked to AD so you can see which domain accounts log in through which switch ports.

Thanks this looks good. Are the results saved in a file as well or is it just viewable on the web interface?

Thanks

You can have it saved to a file as well, though I have never done that. I usually view the results via the job history or have NCM send me an email with the results.
