Thanks for the information, I think I've read something about this issue in some place. The script I wrote was only for Nortel switches and I hadn't tried to do anything for routers because we're using CW2000 Regards, David.
R. Benjamin Kessler had the correct answer. I do use Linux and the problem with your suggestion is that the value given by show interfaces is not the same value as what the snmpget gives. If you have ever cleared the counters on the interface then its definitely not the same. This particular OID is a read only variable and can only be cleared via a reboot.
