Cisco Switchs MAC-Table / Port

Votes:

0

Is it possible to use PRTG with Cisco switches to read out the MAC table including the port to which the device is connected? How high do you estimate the load on the switches and PRTG?

Many thanks for your support

Hi Pit,

Unfortunately, this is not possible by default. You could create sensors to query information about the MAC addresses of the device you monitor, but you won't get information about the device it is connected to.

Kind regards,
