How to tell how long a switchport has been inactive?
We have N-series switches running firmware 6.2.1.6 and 6.2.7.2.
All ports are occupied. All ports have a configuration. I would like to be able to tell if some of these ports are not actively used.
This is in an environment that has 3 work shifts, and I work normal office hours. During the day, there are a few switchports where the Link state is down, but I do not know how to tell if they may be used during one of the other shifts.
Is there an easy way to tell if one of these ports isn't being used or hasn't been used in the last week or so?

BSadmin373,
Being the N1500 series, and it using OS6, your option for monitoring the switch would be using OpenManage Essentials, or a 3rd party tool.
Let me know if this helps.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply. We do use Dorado Cruz OC for switch management, but I can't find a way in there to see how long a port has been inactive.
