Enumerating Interfaces

Hi there,

	I'm looking for "easy" ways to handle devices with multiple interfaces
that do not have per-interface IPs.  For instance, we have a layer two
switch that needs to be monitored.  On that switch, we need to monitor a
subset of the ports that are used as uplinks to the network.  I can
enumerate this in the config by using "fake" names for the ports, but
this is tedious, at best, and I believe there may be some drawbacks as
well since these aren't "real" hosts.

	So is there a way to add a single device and have the ports enumerated
in such a way as to be able to down specific ports?

	One possibility I was thinking about was to create a service for each
port and add the switch to that service.  I think I'm going to give that
a shot, but I was wondering if anyone else has alternative ideas.

Thanks,
