Dear All,
I don't know if this is the right list for this type of question and I am sure I will be told if its not....
I am using Centos 3.3, with a 2.4.20-30.9 kernel on an Amd Opteron box. I am using this kernel because it has matching freeswan modules.
I am also using the following net-snmp packages:
net-snmp-5.0.9-2.30E.6 net-snmp-devel-5.0.9-2.30E.6 net-snmp-utils-5.0.9-2.30E.6
I find that the values returned for the ethernet traffic (this machine has six ethernet ports) via snmp are bogus and the same for in and out octets, bearing no resembence to the actually network traffic.
I have Yummed to the latest of everything, but still no joy, its still wrong,
If anyone knows of this problem please could you put me out of my misery.... :-)
In the mean time I have written a perl script to grep the rx/tx bytes printed by ifconfig and sent these to mrtg for now, but this is not ideal.....
Regards
Pete
