[mrtg] Re: Bits vs Bytes and MaxBytes (OK, i'll byte....)

[James H. Page]

OK,  i'll byte....

i know how to change Bytes to Bits

any way to automatically change MaxBytes to MaxBits ???  other than perl,
sed, awk, etc...

would be nice for our 100M connections to read 100Mbits and not 12.5Mbytes

thx,

jim

Hi,
     Don't worry, when you add 'bits' to the Options field, MaxBytes
doesn't
need to change. All graphs and percentages generated will show
percentages the same whether you include 'bits' in Options for an item
or not.
