Check for viruses or worms. I use MRTG as an indicator of unauthorized traffic, you may have something on that network you didn't expect.

The results that you see are probably correct and not an MRTG problem. I would check the PIX logs and see where the traffic is coming from (internal IP) and see what kind of traffic it is. If your PIX does supply that info use a sniffer. Britt Tabor I.T.

The one in Atltanta monitors just fine, the results are pretty much what I expected them to be. However, the results for the Asheville PIX are very odd. The office is closed at night and on the weekends so there should be little if any traffic on the PIX. However, at nights and this weekend, mrtg continually showed the PIX with a constant usage of about 32KB/s in and 14KB/s out. It never changes, just a constant plateau in the graph. The configs are the same (except IPs obviously) for both PIXs. Is this an mrtg issue? A config issue or a PIX issue? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alea iacta est.
