Hi,
I am trying to setup an SNMP sensor in order to monitor any speed/duplex changes on our Cisco router/switch interfaces. Does anyone know if this is possible and how you set it up??
Thanks
Rob

Hello,
I'm afraid PRTG has no inbuilt sensors for this. You could look into MIBs though, maybe there are counters in MIB that show these values, then it should be possible to monitor them by importing the MIB(s) with our MIB Importer.
best regards.
