The values in the SNMP Traffic Sensor and the SNMP Tester are not really comparable, as the sensor is a difference counter and calculates the speed/volume using the amount of packets going through the interface within a certain time. Within the SNMP Tester, you'll just see a very high numeric value which represents the amount of packets gone through since the last reboot :)

Kind regards,
