Monitoring Switches on Nagios XI

When monitoring a switch, I need to be able to look at the specific device that is connected to each port, since I'm the Network Engineer for a wide area. Each port shows if its connected or not, but It doesn't provide the specs for the device that is connected. What do I need to do to view this?

Thanks for joining the community forum! Are you talking about bandwidth monitoring or another type of spec? Usually, bandwidth monitoring is accomplished with MRTG,
