[Robert Jackson]

Thanks for the reply Jim,

I take it I'm looking at duplicating hosts and services if I choose not
to go down the route of the switches sending traps (just seems like more
work I can do without)? I was kind of thinking the switches would be
parents of the ports which in turn would be parents of the network
devices (servers, pc's printers etc). That way if a port went down for
instance, I would only get alerts for the port and not for the services
of the device attached to that port. Seem logical?

I don't use Cisco kit myself, but I would guess you would get the
relevant alerts by configuring your switches to send snmp traps.
You'll need to configure snmptrapd on your Nagios server to receive
them and use snmptt to get them in to Nagios one way or another
(either via the command interface or via a database using NagTrap for
example).

hth,

Jim
