Greetings,
I've recently begun using the excellent MRTG package to monitor
network traffic on our Digital Unix servers (Alpha 2100s running DU
3.2g) and have run into a problem. snmpd on these boxes is not
reporting interface speeds correctly.
Here is an excerpt from an snmpwalk of the interfaces variables on
one the boxes in question:
interfaces.ifNumber.0 = 4
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.1 = "tu DEC TULIP Ethernet Interface"
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.2 = "tu DEC Fast Ethernet Interface"
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.3 = "sl Serial Line Interface"
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.4 = "lo Local Loopback Interface."
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1 = ethernet-csmacd(6)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = ethernet-csmacd(6)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.3 = 28
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.4 = 24
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifMtu.1 = 1500
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifMtu.2 = 1500
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifMtu.3 = 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifMtu.4 = 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.1 = Gauge: 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.2 = Gauge: 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.3 = Gauge: 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.4 = Gauge: 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus.1 = down(2)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus.2 = up(1)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus.3 = down(2)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus.4 = up(1)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOperStatus.1 = down(2)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOperStatus.2 = up(1)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOperStatus.3 = down(2)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOperStatus.4 = up(1)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.1 = 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.2 = 2698279047
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.3 = 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.4 = 22358189
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets.1 = 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets.2 = 757938498
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets.3 = 0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifOutOctets.4 = 22358189
The ifSpeed entries are definately incorrect. We have similar boxes
running WindowsNT which report the ifSpeed correctly, and a DexStation
3000 with a LANCE ethernet interface that also reports correctly.
Has anyone seen this before and is there a fix?
thanks,
