Hey Steve,<br><br>Thanks for the response. Since you also have this problem, we won't pursue the matter with Cisco as a bug. And again, I only see this problem on 2 of our new switches, not the dozen+ older cisco switches we have. I'll just Target the ifInOctets twice.<br>
<br>Even more strange, these switches don't have ifOutOctets entries but the do have ifOutUcastPkts entries for unrouted vlans. And yes, ifOutUcastPkts = ifInUcastPkts. <br><br>Regards,<br>Gene<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

unrouted vlans work. Maybe since <b>in</b> would be equal to <b>out</b> they
don’t bother with holding a counter for <b>out</b>?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I've got a weird problem. I've run mrtg (and rtg) against
Junipers routers, cisco switches, and several other network device for many
years. I generate my own mrtg config files, create my own rrd files, and have
custom graphing routines. But I've never run into this problem.<br>
<br>
We just add some cisco ios switches to our network. They're configured with
several "unrouted vlan". I can usually traffic monitor unrouted vlans
without problem. But on these switches, the unrouted vlans have ifInOctet
counters but no ifOutOctet counters.<br>
