Many network devices will have SNMP running already, for some
(especially 
nat-in-a-box devices) it's the only way. Many corporations will prefer 
monitoring systems use SNMP to their own agents.

Using SNMP and Nagios, you could run the following plugin

l;d=1

(We've made a few additions)

However as Jim has said, getting a good book on nagios (like the
Wolfgang 
book) is a good start if you don't understand now the nagios system
works, 
once you understand the basics, you can add in plugins from
monitoringexchange.
