With IPHost Network Monitor you can run simple snmp requests against a Cisco device in your network.
cddServerPortAvail
Cisco Distributed Director Server Port Available
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.197.1.3.2.1.5
The default DFP availability metric value for the port of the server. This value is used if the DFP reported availability value is found to have timed out, has not been reported yet, or if the associated port for the virtual hostname has not been configured such that the correct availability can not be determined from the DFP information. If the default availability has been configured for both the port and the server, the port specific value will be used.
