Correct, they will wrap when you have moved more than about 4 billion bytes (2^32) in a single 5 minute polling cycle. That works out to just over 114.5Mb/s
It's usually easiest these days to just use 64 bit counters for everything, but with anything over essentially a 100M interface it's essential. For the original poster: you might want to have Cacti rescan for interfaces on the device you're watching. I've seen VLANs show bad info because Cacti isn't polling the correct counter for the interface it thinks it's watching. For this reason I always watch all the VLANs and the physical interface they're bound to (on aggregator devices) so that there is a sanity check for incorrect graphs. If all the VLANs don't add up to roughly the same as the physical interface then you know there is a problem with one or more of the graphs. Also, in the web interface for Cacti, if you select the type of graph in the lower right in the interfaces screen for a device, it will gray out all the interfaces you're already graphing with that graph type. You can quickly tell if you're using 32 or 64 bit counters for a given graph that way. -Bill > -----Original Message----- > From: cisco-nsp [mailto:cisco-nsp-boun...@puck.nether.net] On Behalf Of > Mark Tinka > Sent: Friday, May 22, 2015 2:30 PM > To: Blake Dunlap > Cc: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net > Subject: Re: [c-nsp] 7604 incorrent counter values on VLAN interface > > > > On 22/May/15 20:28, Blake Dunlap wrote: > > Are you sure this isn't a counter wrap issue?
