This is one of those rare cases where host dependencies may come into
play.
But I would add the interfaces as PING service to the host or use SNMP to
check the real interface status. Something like:
# 'check_snmp_int' command definition define command{
command_name check_snmp_int
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_int.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$
-n $ARG2$
}
Getting the proper interface names can be a daunting task with some
routers.
