Cisco snmp bandwidth

Votes:

0

I have noticed recently that the snmp traffic graphs for my Cisco 7206VXR show continual dropouts. The graphs resemble something like a heartbeat and it shows up on all active interfaces, 4 DS3's and 2 GigE's. I was getting ready to upgrade from a NPE-G1 to a NPE-G2 so I figured I would wait to see if the upgrade changed anything but it did not. I would assume that if all my interfaces were losing all traffic every 10 to 15 minutes I would notice significant problems throughout my network but I'm not. Although I have not ruled out a hardware/software problem with the Cisco.

Is this possibly some sort of snmp configuration problem or possibly a buffer problem? I'm looking for any suggestions that may come to mind.

Thanks in advance, Kevin

Hi Kevin,
as from your description, this might be a 32bit counter overflow issue. Please see this article which addresses this issue.
Did the mentioned steps help resolving the same?

Selecting "Handle overflow values as valid results" solved the problem.

Thank you!
