As I said in another email a few minutes back, there are better tools
for status alerting than MRTG which is basically a statistical collector
and grapher.  I have been trialling NMIS (http://www.sins.com.au/nmis)
which does a good job of alerting for Cisco devices as well as graphing
(via RRDTool) various things, and producing a range of reports.  It is
still under active development and has a few quirks and bugs.

The software I mentioned in the last email could also be used (via
pings) to test the status of interfaces.  You could also look at Tobi's
Smokeping.
