Does the interface speed look ok in NPM? If you can post a shot of what you are seeing it would be helpful. Please include information about the IF type, hardware and NPM version.
And another question I guess is, did you or someone else set a manual speed on the interface? I ask because we have circuits at our datacenters where they can "burst" to 100 Mbps+ but we are only paying monthly for say 10 Mbps so we set the speed as 10 Mbps so that we get alerts for when we are approaching high utilization on what we pay.
Below is the interface details - do you see any changes needed?
Receive Transmit
Interface Bandwidth 56.0 Kbps 56.0 Kbps Current Traffic 273.62 Kbps 5638.6 bps Percent Utilization 488 % 10 % Packets per Second 24.0 pps 12.0 pps Average Packet Size 1.4 Kbytes 56 bytes MTU 4.5 Kbytes Configured Interface Speed 56.0 Kbps
Can you verify?
Is it possible that this is an asymetrical interface (more bw one way that the other)?
Now I see this type of percent on 1GB interfaces - counter are set to use 64.
Let me know if there is another setting.
netnet007,
Can you confirm if the link speed is 56K?
It seems to have pick up this value from the IfSpeed OID.
If it is more than that, you will have to customize the bandwidth to have the correct percentage shown.
1. Log into Orion Web Console
2. Settings > Manage Nodes
3. (Expand) Node > (Select) Interface involved > Edit Properties
4. Enable and set the values for Custom Bandwidth
HTH.
usually run into this when Network engineers are trying to force routing over certain links and they use bandwidth statements in the configs instead of just adding a cost multiplier to the route. I guess in some cases it might be faster but usually leads to more issues later when the network grows.
