IfInOctets

[renatogonca]

Hi all!

I use snmpwalk for search the mibs and the snmpwal show me 2 IfInOctets:
IfInOctets.1 and IfInOctets.655399. The both are Counter32 and the values for them are diferents.
Waht a diferefence?

thanks?

It looks like the manufacturer of your device labeled an interface in a strange way. If you back up a little bit, look at the description of the interface. Here's what it looks like in one of my Cisco routers:

IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: GigabitEthernet0/0
IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: GigabitEthernet0/1
And traffic on these interfaces:
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.1 = Counter32: 770133505
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.2 = Counter32: 0

So we're not using the 2nd interface because there's no traffic on it. Do you have any traffic on that interface? If you look at the description, speed, up/down state, etc. maybe you can figure out what that interface is. What kind of device is it? Is it even a real interface or some kind of virtual interface?

If it really is a legitimate interface, you can make Zabbix call it anything you want to, just give a name to the trigger that makes sense to you.

Good luck!
