How can i monitor port speeds on a cisco switch?

Hello there,
we appreciate your contact.

This can be done with our SNMP Custom Table sensor, please have a look at this guide:

• What can I monitor with the SNMP Custom Table Sensor?

There are two OID's from two different Tables you could use, check what's available on your device:

• ifSpeed from ifTable (1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2)
• ifHighSpeed from ifXTable (1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1)

You can deploy the sensor and use lookups or limits to alert whenever the corresponding value represents 100 mbps or less. You could also deploy the sensor once and create a device template, so that you can apply this sensor to any number of devices automatically.
