Last changed date for interfaces displaying dates in 2010

Deltona Feb 9, 2012 3:58 AM

Hi guys,

In summary > Down Interfaces, the following is displayed:

Notice the date for last changed?

When looking at events, gi1/0/48 was down on the 31/1

Notice the date?

With regards to the down interfaces, here's what the box is telling me:

What is causing this to happen? This Orion instance has not been deployed in 2010 but in 2011. Both Orion server and SQL server have correct date setup, so do the switches as they are all running NTP.

Deltona,
This value is polled from the device. You can confirm this by checking the value directly on the device yourself. We poll ifLastChange 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.9.

  Hi Mav,
  Thanks. It must be an issue on the switch then!

    Deltona, a little more detail to help you from our developers.
    The value of sysUpTime at the time the interface entered its current operational state. If the current state was entered prior to the last re-initialization of the local network management subsystem, then this object contains a zero value.
    To compute absolute time, when a change on interface occurred, Orion needs to take LastBoot date from parent node, and add value of ifLastChange counter. So it depends also on actual sysUptime value.
