<TITLE>64-bit counters with SNMPv1?</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<!-- Converted from text/rtf format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have a device (a Nortel OM3500) which has high-speed interfaces. So, I need to retrieve traffic counts using ifHCInOctets, etc….i.e., 64-bit counters. It appears to me that MRTG uses the 64-bit counters when SNMPv2 is used. However, in this case, v2 is apparently not supported. To verify this, I entered the following commands:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">snmpget -c commstr -v 2c xx.xx.xx.xx 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.17 (response: Timeout: No Response from xx.xx.xx.xx)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">snmpget -c commstr -v 1 xx.xx.xx.xx 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.17 (response: IF-MIB::ifHCInOctets.17 = Counter64: 6058121224)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">This suggests to me that the box does not support SNMPv2. Is there a way for me to make use of the 64-bit counters, while using SNMPv1? (Or if someone knows of a way to enable SNMPv2 on a Nortel OM3500, that would also be a quite acceptable - perhaps preferable - solution.)</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any help would be greatly appreciated.</FONT>
