1497.0. "DB620 SNMP Counter IfINOctets Problem" by FRSIT::MAYER () Mon Nov 14 1994 04:53

DECbridge 620 Problem:
    
The SNMP counter IFOutOctets would always return 0 for FDDI is fixed in 1.3H.

    The QM module does not store the byte counters for FDDI.
    The QM module also does some filtering of the FDDI packets
    which are local to FDDI so if the AP module was to keep track
    of IfInOctets for FDDI the counter would be inaccurate.

    Even if the code kept tract of this counter, all the SNMP
    values returned are only 32 bits.  It would overflow every
    5-6 minutes and therefore be meaningless.  What did you want
    to do with the counter?

    Sorry for late reply.
    
    our customer want create some graphs about utilization etc. because he
    implemented a new application on his systems and now he means that his
    networkwork got much more loaded. To analyse this he desided to use
    those counters.
