I had thought that the MAX Bites field was a limiter on the number of
bites that could be recorded. I Was Using 250,000,000 as the number (250
Megs), on a new configuration. I thought that 250 Megs was 50 Megs more
than all possible combined bandwidth than I could use (100 Mega Bit Full
Duplex). This seems to have produced Small Terabit Figures in a few
days, and while possible it is no probable, not to mention a slight
heart attack. I switched to 1,250,000 (1.25 Megs) But this then seemed
to produced a flat line in a few hours at 1240.0 K. I have Just upped it
to 12,500,000 (12.5 Megs).

I need to know what, How I should be tracking the switch for as accurate
as possible numbers. Below are three config examples. (1)Uplink to
provider from Switch (2) Downlink to another Switch that feeds Servers.
(3) Downlink from switch to a Server, they all reside in the same cfg
file. The Word "Host" has replaced the IP's

The Machine Used for the MRTG Configs is being feed by the Switch, I.E
it is on the inside of the Switch Which Is why I Have an"-" in front of
that Target Line, However I am not any longer Sure that that is correct.

Could someone please tell me;
    	A What the MaxBytes Fields Really does?

And 
	B what would be the appropriate Number to put in that field for
a 100 Mega Byte Switch is?
