Don - I hear ya not only have I not found a use for it - I also don't trust it's reporting. I have noticed on Nortel a sub interface is almost always reported as down (giving you the pink octagon) even when the interface is up and running. I have not seen this on any cisco sub interfaces at this time but we are just now migrating over as we get more cisco devices up and going I will be anxious to see if a I get any similar anomalies.
at this time I simply monitor every interface seperatly as it's own device icon using icmp... I group them with other interfaces from the same device but would love to be able to monitor a router and all it's interfaces in one icon... any ideas?
