Octets are Bytes, and the value does increment with every Byte sent through this port. If you want to get the *current* traffic, use Zabbix's delta function, this will report - as the name says - just the difference between the new and the old value. This is probably what you want...

oh thx. i can show kbps now

If you truly want to show kbps you need to set the custom multiplier to 8 because most bandwith is measured in bits per second not bytes per second.

8 bits = 1 byte = 1 octet

And ifInOctets with cisco VLAN's?

It seems the value of ifInOctets on a Cisco catalyst is different than of a physical interface. Does anyone know why?
