 Posted: Wed Jul 13, 2005 3:18 pm Post subject: Problems with similar ifDescr values |
 |
|
I'm running netmrg .16 and it has generally been working great, however I'm been having problems after enabling MPLS on some interfaces. After MPLS is enabled the switch created a new interface and netmrg seems to switch between the new one and the old one. For example:
IF-MIB::ifDescr.234 = STRING: TenGigabitEthernet1/1
IF-MIB::ifDescr.467 = STRING: TenGigabitEthernet1/1-mpls layer
I want netmrg to monitor the physical interface, however it seems to switch randomly between monitoring the physical interface and the MPLS layer, which creates havoc on my graphs, as only a small portion is mpls tagged traffic.
Any help would be appreciated. |

Would ifName be more unique? If so, you can change your parameters to use this to track your interface instead. If you're doing this a lot you'll probably want to change the interface cache page to use this (although, I think we switched away from it awhile ago b/c of problems with it not being unique..).

Thanks, Doug. I modified a couple of interfaces to be tracked via ifIndex, this since is assured to be unique.
You mention changing the interface cache page to do this, how exactly is this accomplished? |
