Interface Bandwidth

We have been running into a problem with Configured Interface Speed not matching the Transmit and Receive Bandwidth settings.

This seems to be occurring when machines orginally running at 10M are now running at 100M or when machines originally running at 100M are now running at Gig.

Does anyone know of a way to reconfigure all of these mismatches without going through manually and modifyting the Transmit and Receive fields individually? I would have to go through about 3000 ports to validate the mismatches.

Any ideas are appreciated.

I have the same problem (v7.8.2)It seems as if the re-discovery isnt updating any changes (default 30min)!

Yeap. Unfortunately, that's how it works. Orion gives you the flexibility to administratively assign TX and RX speeds for interfaces. When it discovers a bw change on an interface, it doesn't automatically update it in the database. It would be nice if there was a check box in the interface details views within System Manager that would allow the administrator to tell it whether or not to automatically update the database when it detects a change.

We have an alert configured that lets us know when a speed change is detected, so we can keep things up to date. It's a pain, but it works.

I thought if you deleted the speed setting then on rediscovery it populated it.. Don Yonce, can you chime in on this one?

Running the following database query seems to output a valid list of active ports with mismatches.

select * from Interfaces
WHERE (InterfaceSpeed <> InBandwidth) AND (InterfaceSpeed <> OutBandwidth) AND (InterfaceSpeed > 0) AND (Status = 1)

Not sure of the impacts of making a change directly to the database or if there are other fields that would need to be changed as well.
Anyone have thoughts on this?

Don331, how would you delete the speed setting? Remove the interface and rediscover?
