Nooby here! Im looking for the sensor name that will identify the switch and port that a PC is plugged into.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello there,

I'm sorry, but PRTG does not monitor 'what' is connected on which interface to a switch.

With SNMP Traffic Sensors though PRTG can check the connection state of a port, if a cable is plugged in or not.

In addition I would recommend you this article.

Kind regards
