[Devmon] 10 Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces?

[Christian H. <cha...@ne...>]

Hello

We have some 10 GigE Interfaces here which are shown in if_load as only
"4.29 Gbps" with a usage of 106% :)

This is probably because the MIB defines ifSpeed as Gauge32 but devmon does
not follow the recommendation to use IF-MIB::ifHighSpeed in case the MAXVAL
of 4294967295 is returned.

 # snmptranslate -Td IF-MIB::ifSpeed
        ... If the
            bandwidth of the interface is greater than the maximum value
            reportable by this object then this object should report its
            maximum value (4,294,967,295) and ifHighSpeed must be used
            to report the interface's speed.
        ...

bye,

-christian-
