How are you measuring bandwidth utilization for Gigabit devices with Netview
since it does not have 64 bit counters? A gigabit interface counter can wrap
every 34 seconds at max rate. Netview can handle one counter wrap fine but
beyond that - the data is garbage.

Subject: [NV-L] mib collection with smartsets
I have created mib collections for interface utilization. The interested
parties want thresholds set for 55% for gig interfaces and 80% for atm. I
thought that I could make my life easier by making smartsets with the
corresponding interface speeds and then collect on those smartsets. The
problem that I'm faced with is that when I add the smartset to the mib
collection it does not collect anything. After a little investigation I
noticed that it is ignoring those interfaces because it is trying to use
the selection name (which is invalid because it is in the format of
"c4500m.net.lsu.edu:ATM0.12-aa15" instead of just c4500m.net.lsu.edu)
instead of the ip address.
Now, I could add each device by IP individually, but that would require
lots of administration. Am I doing something wrong? What suggestions do
you have?
Thanks.
Allie
