Bandwidth Monitoring - Link Utilization

Please do an interface scan with the SNMP Tester and find the OIDs or ID for the interface that you are trying to monitor. Once you have that, use the tester again to scan for the OID or using the index number to scan that interface specifically a few times and then post the data here. It's likely that the Cisco device's SNMP system is delivering incorrect values, but we will be able to see that with the tester values.

Hi Greg,

Below is the output from scan of one of our router interfaces. I am not much aware of the OID thing so could not actually get the out for OID as stated. Your help to get the same would be much appreciated.

Also On this router we have to Active Physical Interfaces :

1. Gi0/0 - Description *** 120 Mb Vodafone Link ***  ( Actual Link Termination Link )
2. Gi0/1/0 -- ( LAN side Interface )
____________________________________________________________________________

Can you tell me which interface you are using for your internet connection? The name or number should be fine.

The interface is GigabitEthernet0/0 with description * 120 Mb Vodafone Link *

At the very end of a scan, there should be a small table that lists all of the interfaces and the OIDs for their in and out traffic OIDs. It should look something like this

Testing standard interfaces...
Test 3:Adaptive Security Appliance 'EXTERNAL' interface (1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.3,1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.3): in=6381562981236  out=1353331996021
Test 4:Adaptive Security Appliance 'INTERNAL' interface (1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.4,1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.4): in=1225374426086  out=6438252901526
Test 5:Adaptive Security Appliance 'DMZ' interface (1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.5,1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.5): in=320  out=427520

The OIDS 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.3 / 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.3 are the two OIDs for in and out respectively. In the last posting the table at the end was not there so I cannot say which OIDs you need to use but they should be at the end of an interface scan.

Hi Greg,

PFB the output for the table you were stating earlier :

Ok, can you please run a Custom OID scan with SNMP tester for the OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.2 until you see one of the spikes again and then check the values from the router and see if they are also spiking? If so, you will have to investigate why the Cisco is sending out false information.
