Problem with interface counters. (long)

May 17, 2007 0 Replies

Hello.



I have a problem with counters on vlan and fastethernet interfaces. They very often display inexact values.



Test network draft below.



Network has three Cisco 1812 V03 routers. At laboratory i use IOS:



Cisco IOS Software, C181X Software (C181X-ADVENTERPRISEK9-M), Version



12.4(6)T2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

Test network scheme.



R1 R2 R3 FE0 192.168.5.1 192.168.5.2 - FE1 - 192.168.6.2 192.168.6.1 TUN10 192.168.10.1 - 192.168.10.2 VLAN100 192.168.100.1 - 192.168.200.1



Error description



When the network load is low, information about 5 minute input/output rate on interfaces are strange.



After high transfer between host, and after stop transmission, I see information like this below.

After low transfer between hosts, like ping between host I see information like this below.
