RE: (ASCEND) MRTG and max4000



I believe that the problem you described is a limitation of the ascend MIB II implementation and not MRTG. Historically, the WAN interfaces did not count octets - why I am not sure. There are workarounds. If it is frame then you can monitor the DLCI - as you mentioned. This is OK when there is one DLCI but when there are multiple it gets ugly.

Well it works, but don't expect to monitor everything.

You can monitor a PVC using Frame-Relay MIB.
But using the MIB-II, you can monitor everything (ethernet, and all the
virtual interfaces bound to WAN connections) BUT the Serial WAN interface:

interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.6 = "Serial WAN Slot 11 Port 1"
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifInOctets.6 = 0

(yes, I DO have traffic on the Serial WAN).

Don't ask why.
I asked EMEA support 2 months ago, and I'm still waiting for an answer.

Except that, It works fine.
