Wrong Interface Bandwidth percentages on graphs.

We are using Orion/NetView to poll our Cisco devices. We have some T1, DSL, serial, and 10/100 interfaces. The 10/100 interface we have no problem getting the graphs to acuratly depict the percentages. Howevers, the interfaces on out devices that we had to set (per say, on Cisco devices were you might set a serial interface to "bandwidth 64000" or a link you know to be DSL at "bandwidth 128000") the bandwidth settings that we manually put on such interfaces is not being picked up by Orion and therefore the graphs are showing incorrect bandwidth capabilites and percentages. How do I get NetView to grab this bandwidth data from my Cisco devices and have it applied to the graphs and percentages?

Have a look here:

www.solarwinds.net/.../Chapter 3.htm

There are also text boxes that allow you to change the Transmit and Receive Bandwidth values. These values are used when calculating Percent Utilization. The System Manager sets initial configured bandwidth values when the interface is added. These values are not updated during rediscovery; therefore, the bandwidth values can be manually set. They may also be set independently for asymmetric circuits (ADSL or CATV interfaces, for example, with different upstream and downstream data rates).

quote:Setting thresholds when monitoring customer circuits is another frequent use of the Transmit and Receive Bandwidth settings. For example, a customer may have a 10 Mbps connection (via Ethernet), but may only be paying for 512 Kbps with overcharges when they exceed the 512k limit. You could set the Transmit and Receive Bandwidth settings to 512000 and display Percent Utilization charts for their circuit in terms of 512 Kbps.
