[mrtg] Re: Weird Cisco issue

[Tim Kennedy]

Keith,

First off, I am assuming that the individual graphs are
correct.  Or are they having problems?  If those are really high speed
interfaces, maybe the counters are rolling on some of them, and mrtg
is adjusting for that when you graph the individual line, but I don't
know if, when you are adding interfaces together, MRTG is smart enough to
make the distinction, or if it just throws a zero in there.

If the individual graphs work, then I would guess it's not a IOS bug.
I don't poll ifInOctets and ifOutOctets, though.  I use, instead, cisco's
own locIfInterfaces stats.  ifInBps, and ifOutBps.  Set the bits option.
And away I go.  You also don't have to worry about the counter rolling,
since it's already giving you a bps number.  you could try that.
