Brocade Fiberchannel interface error stats missing?

It doesn't seem that NPM is reporting errors on Brocade FC switches. Utilization stats are fine. The error counters are always zero even when the FC switches are showing interface errors in the CLI. I queried the database and confirmed that all records have zeros for In_errors and out_Errors. Anyone else having this issue?

Errors and Discards are polled using the following MIBS: ifInDiscard, ifOutDiscard, ifInErrors, ifOutErrors. Since the Error count is not incrementing up, Brocade may not be updating the information in the ifInErrors and ifOutErrors MIBs.

You may want to contact Brocade to see if they use a different MIB to store the Error Count, or if there is a Known issue with the device not reporting Errors in SNMP correctly.

I'm experiencing the same issue where I can see traffic stats frmo the Brocade ports but the error counters in the database report zeros I think it has something to do with the MIB and pollers. Any ideas?

Thanks

Was there a fix for this?

Not that I'm aware of. Fingers got pointed in both directions.
