Monitoring port states with Ciscocmd!

The tar file contains a folder with the following files.

– A README file.
– The ciscocmd script. Remember to ensure this is an executable.
– The ciscocmdup script. This script monitors the state of ports and triggers an action based on an err-disable state.
– A temp folder
– GPL license
– A folder that has a switch target file.

This script would be useful in the case of a data center or where all interfaces need to be up. You can even remove the part that triggers trying to bring the script to try to up an  interface automatically and only email you. It’s up to you. Please check it out. Hopefully it will be helpful to you.

Would like to thank Fred for contributing this script.

The tar file is attached below. You can right click it and do a “save as” to download it.

Hello!
Dependance ciscocmd (inside the folder, don’t worry)

Using ciscocmd, this script watch for error on cisco switch interface and up them, then send a log mail.
If no error-disabled port and no connection failed, no mail.

1/ place all your switch list in the file named ./equipements/switchall one by line
2/ edit ciscocmdup with your USER and PASS.
3/ keep the folder /equipements and /temp in place and launch ./ciscocmdup
4/ better in crontab

i know it could be better coded, but it worksvery well for me at works with about 150 stack-switch!
skills missing for that…
