[mrtg] Monitoring CRC Errors, Packet Corruption

[Jeff Bolden]

OK, after searching the MIB's as well as the web for the past 2 days, I'm ready to throw up my hands and ask for some help. =)

I am currently monitoring some 100+ routers here, and am exploring graphing things like packet corruption, CRC errors, etc. Most of our internal routers are Motorola Vanguards. I have the Vanguard MIBS and have been browsing them, but I'm at a loss on a few of my stats.

First off, I want to monitor packet corruption on the frame links. No problem, except I realized that I'm not exactly sure what exactly constitutes packet corruption... =) What MIB2 OID/OID's should I be using to monitor this?

Next off, packet errors. I'm getting packet errors on the graph, but my graph shows some weird data. I attached the graph image, apologies if this is not allowed... =) On the Y axis the graph shows Errors with ticks at 5 10 15 20, but behind each number is the letter m. Also, in the Max/Avg/Current errors under the graph I have the same m behind the number. What the heck is going on here? I'm getting the same weird stuff on my CRC errors graphing. Here's my config...

I know this is probably some stupid config error, but I'm missing something obvious. =)
