Development of status monitoring for routers and switches / Hairul Redzuan Saring

Status Monitoring for Routers and Switches (SMART) is a web based system which
can display the status of all routers and switches that connected within the UiTM
Shah Alam’s internal network. The system will give an iconic status representative
by displaying green light or red light for each device. Red light means the devices are
down and green light means the devices are in the fully working state. The system
also provides an easy access for remote telnet operation. The main objective of
SMART is to provide a graphical interface for the entire routers and switches that
connected to the network. This application also provides a real time status to ease the
monitoring process done by the system administrator. The method for keeping the
system make a contact with the routers and switches is by sending an ICMP request
to each device. If the device is running without a problem, it will automatically reply
the ICMP packet to the system and with this method the system can keep track for
the status of the devices
