Switches are the backbone of your LAN. Any problem in your switches affects a large proportion of your LAN users. Implementing a proactive switch monitoring system helps you detect problems early and avoid potential problems.

OpManager On-Demand helps in discovering and monitoring switches across the network. It provides a consolidated view of all the switches along with all the switch ports, making the process of monitoring your switches less taxing.

Using the switch monitoring capability, operators can gain visibility into the status and availability of switch ports. OpManager On-Demand actively monitors switch ports and quickly notifies operators whenever a switch port or the switch goes down. Operators can setup OpManager On-Demand to monitor only critical ports, an industry best practice for Switch monitoring, that prevents unnecessary alarms from being generated. Detailed reports and graphs are generated on availability, CPU and Memory utilization and response times of your switches that is critical to network performance.

OpManager On-Demand constantly monitors your entire network and automatically sends alerts when a link goes down.It's reporting functionality also provides you with a detailed availability report of your Switches and Switch Ports. You can use these reports to ensure that your SLAs are being met.
