Switches Monitoring with preventative options if any check is not meet

Physical Inspection

Check for any visible physical damage to the switches

Ensure all cables are securely connected

Verify that all indicator lights are functioning properly

Preventative Option: If any physical damage is found, immediately replace the damaged switch to prevent further issues.

Performance Testing

Test switch connectivity by sending a ping command to each switch

Monitor switch traffic and ensure it is within normal parameters

Check for any latency or packet loss issues

Preventative Option: If any connectivity or performance issues are detected, investigate and resolve the issue promptly to prevent network downtime.

Configuration Review

Review switch configurations for any unauthorized changes

Ensure that all VLANs and port settings are configured correctly

Verify that security measures such as access control lists are in place

Preventative Option: If any unauthorized changes or misconfigurations are found, revert to a known good configuration and implement measures to prevent future unauthorized changes.

Firmware Updates

Check if the switches are running the latest firmware version

Schedule regular firmware updates to ensure security and performance improvements

Test firmware updates in a controlled environment before deploying them to production switches

Preventative Option: If any switches are not running the latest firmware version, schedule an update to prevent security vulnerabilities.

Backup and Recovery

Ensure that regular backups of switch configurations are being performed

Test switch configuration backups to ensure they can be restored in case of a failure

Have a documented recovery plan in place in case of a switch failure
