Hi,
My apologies if this isn't the right group. I have a Cisco 9020 fibre switch connecting my EMC SAN components. I'm trying to measure throughput on the interfaces for the switch using SNMP for my network monitoring system.
If I do an SNMP walk on the FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB'S, I see some OID's that I'm not sure how to interpret:
For example, for port 7:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.3.1.7 (fcFxPortC3InOctets for port 7 on the fiber switch) .1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.4.1.7 = (fcFxPortC3OutOctets for poort 7 on the fiber switch)
The docs say the following about fcFxPortC3InOctets
"The number of Class 3 frame octets, including the frame delimiters, delivered through this FxPort to its attached NxPort. "
Here's the oupout for the ports 1-7:
OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.3.1.1 Value: 2852287863
OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.3.1.2 Value: 948614975
OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.3.1.3 Value: 97041284
OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.3.1.4 Value: 127562014
OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.3.1.5 Value: 3921620920
OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.3.1.6 Value: 3936442885
OID: .1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.4.3.1.3.1.7 Value: 3816608435
Can I interpret this as the number of incoming bytes?
Is there a better way to get throughput information using SNMP?
Any information would be helpful.
Thanks
