[mrtg] Re: 10Gig Interface MaxBytes with Cfg

[Pavel Ruzicka]

Hello,

In a Cisco WS-C6509 are 10Gbps interfaces named TenGigabitEthernet
and in a GSR are named GigabitEthernet.
Interface has default bandwidth 10000000 Kbit. This information is
provided via SNMP 64bit OIDs "ifHighSpeed", because "ifSpeed" is too
small. You can override bandwidth in a Cisco router with a command
"bandwidth".
Before few months there was bug in MRTG, that cfgmaker reads ifSpeed
instead of ifHighSpeed and Max speed was wrong. This was probably fixed
in a version 2.13.0 of MRTG. Read CHANGES file for details.
What version do you have?

For me it works perfectly with Cisco 6509 L3 switches and GSR routers.

Best regards,

Pavel Ruzicka
