HI all,
It would be great to add a test that check status (Up, Down, cable unplugged) of a network device.
I know that could be done with snmp get test but a builtin test like traffic monitor would be very useful.
Thanks
Port status
Not sure I understand what advantages can be provided by such test
Traffic Monitor test is useful because single SNMP Get test cannot monitor several interfaces and it cannot check summarized input+output traffic.
SNMP Get test may easily check status of the interface. So, why do you need new test method? Do you want to use single test to check all network interfaces of the device?

Alex

No, I need to monitor network interface status (reply status could be UP or down or cable unplugged..).Do you want to use single test to check all network interfaces of the device?
This new test willl need just Ip address and community string and we will choose the network interface to monitor (like traffic monitor).
Is it more clear?
Yes I know but it's more longer. First I need to browse device with mib browser and then identify wich index reffers wich network interface (sometimes port C12 is index 76 etc) anf finally copy OID in snmp get test.Its pretty easy to do the same using SNMP Get test method
But with this new test I just browse device like traffic monitor to choose interface and then alert if interface is down.
