The atmport monitor is configured to work with Marconi ATM gear. It has been tested with the ASX200BX, ASX1000, LE25, LE155, and ESX3000. It will use SNMP to query the switch specified for the status of the VPT given. It checks that signalling is up. The etherport module queries an ethernet switch for the link state of that port and reports accordingly.
switch
the ip address of the host to SNMP query
community
the SNMP community to use default: public
port
(atmport) Symbolic name for port (Marconi convention) or the number used as the SNMP index (etherport) SNMP index number for the port.
vpi
(atmport only) the Path number to monitor
To find numeric port numbers for the etherport module, use snmpwalk:
snmpwalk 10.100.101.61 public ifDescr interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.2 = FastEthernet0/1 interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.3 = FastEthernet0/2
For FastEthernet0/1, I would use port 2. ifName or ifAlias may yield the desired result depending on the switch manufacturer.
