Jose, Maybe if you let us know the brand & model of your switch/hub, this might help people decide if your switch/hub can even be monitored.
The next question you could answer, do you know the IP number of your switch/hub, if not, I'd assume even if it can support IP, the chances are, it's not setup, or worse, is second hand, and was setup for another companies network etc... In the mean time, plug all your servers into the switch/hub, and when people tell you that the servers are all dead, you can assume the switch/hub is broken, this is a very effective way of monitoring, but perhaps not what you're after? other simple methods are to walk past it and see if the lights are flashing, mount a webcam so you can see the status of the lights from your desk, or simply relocate the item to your desk, this will save a lot of time also.

If it is not managed then you can not monitor if it is powered on or not. It will be the same with any monitoring software. If it is managed then you can just monitor it using ICMP to the IP number or SNMP if you have it on that switch. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 3:39 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RES: [WhatsUp Forum] hubs and switch > > I want to monitor the hub and switch with WhatsUp Gold > > Jose Reinaldo. > > -----Mensagem original----- > De: Jon Saunders [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Enviada em: quinta-feira, 5 de setembro de 2002 16:47 > Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Assunto: Re: [WhatsUp Forum] hubs and switch > > Can you tell me if you are trying to monitor the hub and switch with > WhatsUp > Gold or just devices connect to them. > > Jon Saunders > SECOM > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jose Reinaldo da Silva" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 12:59 PM > Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] hubs and switch > > > > Hello > > > > I am not found my hub and my switch using WhatsUp Gold.
