Sounds like a Cisco switch. Certain switches do not report the correct amount of traffic on vlan interfaces. It's a "feature" of the switch rather than JFFNMS (or mrtg). Even the "show interfaces" command gives the wrong number.
I recall seeing this issue back in the early 90s. A quick google of phrases like mrtg and vlan shows it still a problem. In short: cisco + vlan = bad counters I'd hate to think of the number of network engineers that have torn their hair out about this bug, you look at the vlan interface, you look at the physical interface... "but but the traffic must be going SOMEWHERE!" Deep down in the Cisco documents somewhere it probably explains it, but like most Cisco documents you can never find them! - Craig -- Craig Small GnuPG:1C1B D893 1418 2AF4 45EE 95CB C76C E5AC 12CA DFA5 http://www.enc.com.au/ csmall at : enc.com.au http://www.debian.org/ Debian GNU/Linux, software should be Free ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
