FEATURE REQUEST - #412437 Distinction between trunk and non-trunk interfaces

One issue with the Cisco designation of trunk are POE interfaces with phones and a PC on them.  Technically this is a trunk, but not the kind of trunk we want to watch.  The logic would have to be something like trunks with greater then 3 vlans allowed, or 3 vlans active....  gets a bit tricky...

PeterLyttle has the right idea where we add a customization to the interface, but that is manual and time consuming process if you have 2000 switches and a team installing them that doesn't always follow the "standard"  :-) But it is the best idea so far....

The idea of device discovery is great, but again, with large quantities of switches being discovered it makes the process fairly cumbersome. 

I have voted up your request as I have the same issue but also have a work around.  I have my Cisco Trunk with a description that contains the word "trunk".  I can then do an alert where Vendor=Cisco & FullName or Caption (or something like that) that contains the word "trunk".

I think you could also do it with SQL like this -

SELECT * FROM dbo.Nodes as N

JOIN dbo.Interfaces as I

ON I.NodeID = N.NodeID

WHERE N.Vendor='Cisco'

AND I.Caption like '%Trunk%'
