(ASCEND) SNMP oddities
Hello,
in looking into some of the Ascend-enterprise MIB's, it appears that some of
the values are completely redundant, and do not really measure what they
purport to measure. For example:
OID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.529.10.7
OID full path:
iso(1).org(3).dod(6).internet(1).private(4).enterprises(1).ascend(529).event
Group(10).eventTotalCalls(7)
[henceforth eTC in my shorthand]
Is the same thing on my TNT, as its neighbors 1.3.6.1.4.1.529.10.8 and
.10.9, or in English:
eventTotalSessions and eventTotalCallsAnswered. [eTS & eTCA]
My hope was that the eTC would show all calls, regardless of whether a LAN
session was established. My goal would be to find times when we were
receiving hundreds of calls, but no user logins were successful. We have
many problems with the 2.1.0 code, not the least of which are reports of
multiple connect attempts before a successful login. I know, I know, 2.1.9
is released... I'm just nervous about resetting my TNT again, since it took
a full day before it would answer any non-ISDN calls (it just retrained
endlessly) the last time I upgraded.
Am I mistaken that Total Calls should be all calls, and not just those for
which a session was created?
Another rant: why is there no way to retrieve a statistic for total users
other than to use the last user index value to? Total sessions != total
users != total channels in use
Don't get me wrong, I love the box -- I just love to hate it, too. =P
Thanks,
Dave Langlands
