I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I can't find an answer. On client ports, we would like to monitor statistics, but not up/down. I've thought about having the network guys add something like "monitor" or "imp" to the name of important or monitored ports, but our director would prefer to also have client ports not affect the visual switch health icon. So, that kind of leaves me in a bind as well.
Anybody have any suggestions?
