Differentiating between routers and switches is pretty difficult these days.
You might be able to do it with marginally complex hardware regexps.

I am looking to create an alert checker to send an alert when an Ethernet interface on a Cisco IOS router goes down- for example when the router is still up and available in monitoring, but a physical link is down due to a local switch failure, carrier CPE down, peer (unamanaged) router down..._______________________________________________We receive syslogs of course, but these can occasionally get lost in the flood and not noticed as actionable by NOC staff.
Is there an effective way to make a device match for Cisco routers, but not Cisco switches? The OS type both show up as "ios", and I haven't found something router-specific to successfully match on. I can do this individually by device name, but unfortunately our naming scheme isn't specific enough to match them all with *rt* or *wan or similar.
As you can see below, I set the device match to "os equals ios" which includes switches that have a ton of link-down-but-enabled ports on them!
Thank you,Andrew
