I think what you are seeing is a flaw in the Check Point FW-1 snmp daemon.
Although the value is supposed to be ifInOctets and ifOutOctets, it probably
should be labeled ifInPackets and ifOutPackets. If you plot the OIDs
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.4.0 (packets accepted), .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.5.0
(packets rejected), and .1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.6.0 (packets dropped), you'll
probably find the values follow along quite closely.

Subject: [mrtg] difference between Sun and Cisco


Hi,

With MRTG-2.8.8, I'm monitoring traffic on 2 ethernet interfaces which
are directly connected :
(1 cisco router <-> Sun Solaris with CheckPoint fw-1)

Cisco
Max Speed:    240.0 kBytes/s (ethernetCsmacd)
Max  In:      1847.4 kb/s (96.2%) 
Average  In:  591.3 kb/s (30.8%) 
Current  In:  737.4 kb/s (38.4%) 
Max  Out:     1548.8 kb/s (80.7%) 
Average  Out: 182.4 kb/s (9.5%) 
Current  Out: 145.0 kb/s (7.5%)

SUN 
Max Speed:    1250.0 kBytes/s (ethernetCsmacd)
Max  In:      1840.0 b/s (0.0%) 
Average  In:  608.0 b/s (0.0%) 
Current  In:  1000.0 b/s (0.0%) 
Max  Out:     1912.0 b/s (0.0%) 
Average  Out: 664.0 b/s (0.0%) 
Current  Out: 1048.0 b/s (0.0%) 

How can you explain this difference in the number of bits on the
same link ????

Thanks
