[mrtg] Re: Ascend Pipeline & inOctets

[Silvio L. Nisgoski]

	Yes, but this damned thing doesn't return values for neither of the
ports. I have a user linked 24/7 in a port of the Ascend, so changing
WANs should not be a problem. 
	What I need to know is how many bytes got in, and how many got
out. Telnetting to the box gives me this number, but snmpwalk says
the SNMP variable ( inOctets ) equals 0.
	If I had some numbers for the WAN ports, I would add up them
but I don't have any.
	By the way, they are Pipelines 130.
	Is there anyone out there monitoring such kind of crap ?
