you got "bits" set anywhere?

>2. The hub is processing about 5-600 Kbs constantly. I can monitor the
throughput real-time using the monitor that came with the hub, and I can
also monitor our firewall real-time and they both agree. Port 1 is
connected directly to the Internet connection provided by our ISP, and port
two is connected to the firewall which in turn feeds our servers. 

you're pointed at the wrong number then, try setting bits and see what
happens, make sure you're not looking at "frames per second" or some such?

>The funny thing is that when I monitor port 1 with the monitor provided by
HP, it shows very light throughput (.7%, or about 70kbs) while port 2 shows
about 4-5% (400-500kbs). Port 3 is also connected, but it's connected to a
passive device that doesn't use any bandwidth, however it does show an
active connection and MAC address when I view it through HP's tools.

ok.

have you tried cfgmaker?

>When mrtg configured itself, it didn't map to port 2 because it reported a
speed of 0. Something weired is going on, because I don't believe that the
numbers that it's reporting on (IfInOctets.1 and IfOutOctets.1 are actually
port 1's numbers. I've reached this conclusion for 4 reasons:

for port 2 just un comment it and patch in whatever you need form port 1
(max speed numbers, etc)

>1) If you'll notice the figures in the snmp dump below, you'll see that
the numbers in column 1 are higher than those in column 2 or the octets. If
port 1 was column 1, and port 2 was column 2, column 2 would be higher if
the HP tools are reporting correctly.

is this a switch?

Obviously they aren't reporting what's going on on port 2.

weird.
