Hi Garry,

I'm monitoring traffic in diferent VLAN's in a Catalyst 5500 with
RSFC's. It seems to be correct. I don't know if there is any diference
between RSFC and MSFC...

Yes, I'm successfully monitoring VLANs on the 7200 routers. In fact,
this is how I realized there was a problem, as the VLAN graphs on the
7200s and the 6500s did not match up. Also, I do have router blades in
the switches, this is where I'm running into the issue. The MSFCs in the
6500 series routers do not report all VLAN traffic, only the setup
packets.
