The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Monitoring a Cisco 2960G switch with Nagios

Asked by CAKNV in Network Auditing Software, Network Switches & Hubs

Tags: cisco switch nagios snmp check_snmp

I am monitoring a Cisco 2960G switch with Nagios. I am getting green (OK) for ping, port 1 link status and uptime. Port 3 link status is orange with the error: SNMP problem No data received from host. If I unplug the network cable in port 1 on the switch the port stays green in Nagios so it is not monitoring port 1. The switch has an IP address on the vlan and SNMP is enabled read only. What do I have configured wrong?
