[nv-l] NV714-WIN - etherStatsCRCAlignErrors returns nothing from routers

[Mario Behring <mariobehring@yahoo.com>]

Hi list,

 

I have this need of monitoring CRC errors and I have just found the MIB field  .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.rmon.statistics.etherStatsTable.etherStatsEntry. etherStatsCRCAlignErrors. .

 

The description of this field is the one below:

 

"The total number of packets received that had a length (excluding framing bits, but
including FCS octets) of between 64 and 1518 octets, inclusive, but were not an integral number of octets in length or had a bad Frame Check Sequence (FCS)."

 

This pretty much is what I need and it can be configured like any other snmpcollect MIB _expression_. The problem is, and let me state that I am no router expert, I am just the Tivoli guy.

 

The problem is that when I open the Browser MIB and click at the Get Values button no data comes from the routers.

 

Do I have to install or enable anything at these routers, like RMON or something ?? Or is it something at the NetView itself ?

 

Any help is appreciated.
