[rrd-users] problem with a network interface counter

[Shahar Fleischman]

Hi,

Thanks for the quick response, this is a cisco 7600 router I will check
the mib if it has a 64 bit counter.

Shahar.

Does your router support 64bit counters? I believe they are

In Octets: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6
Out Octets: 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10

this sounds like the interface is doing a lot of traffic and therefor  
overflowing the maximum 32-bit value of a normal SNMP Counter. It  
depends what collector you are using how you would overcome this so  
check the docs for your collector.

Regards,
Geoff
