Hello all

I'm collecting a MIB variable which shows me the number of frames that have
entered on a given interface of a switch.
But my question is: why do I keep getting values lower than 1 on my data
collection, when I know this number should be an integer (and far greater
than 1).

When I query this variable using the MIB browser, and subtract the values
of two consecutive queries, I get the values I expect.
How can I do the same using the data collection feature ?

I've been verifying the same problem with many other variables I try to
collect.

Any tips ?
