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?

netnet007,
Might be the same issue as Michael Melton mentioned. Can you post the interface configurations of both the 56Kbps and the 1Gbps interfaces? 'Could be a matter of under-set interfaces (56Kbps --> 256Kbps; and 100Mbps --> 1Gbps).

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
