[mrtg] Re: Cisco 2900 series switches

[Jerry Shenk]

I've got a couple 2924's.  I'm not polling any of the ports that don't have 
connections.  I have not looked closely at the number comparing the link 
between two switches.  I do have two of them linked with fiber.

In general, I think 30 bytes is probably something I'd just ignore anyway.  
Overall I've been pleased with the info that I've gotten from the switch.  
All I'm gathering is traffic stats on a per-port basis and a total (adding 
all the ports up).  I should start collecting some error stats also.  I 
haven't looked into it far enough to know what stats the switch offers.  I'd 
like to collect broadcast stats too if that's available.
