Well - I guess I overlooked that very important aspect.  I never actually
collected any data - I probably would have noticed the reporting data to be
garbage had I entered even one device for testing.  Thanks for pointing
this out.

Now, lets assume that I wanted to do interface utilization on interfaces
that do not require 64bit counters.  I'm still back to my original problem.

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
