Use method SNMP Get
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/tests.htm#chkSNMP

Here you may find a tool for finding out about what MIBs to use

What exact routers do you want to monitor?

Juergen is right. Try to find MIB file, that should be supplied with your router, load it into MIB Browser ( http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mibbrowser/index.htm ) and use SNMP Get test method. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... tm#chkSNMP)

You just should find appropriate OID in the MIB file.

Use OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.<index>
- the current operational state of the interface (iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOperStatus.<index>)
Where <index> == index of the interface
