Hi, I think there is a simple way to find out: "300 second output rate: 253773564 bits/sec, 23796 packets/sec, 25.60% utilization" -> Your Foundry obviously thinks thats a 1GBit link if 250MBit ist 25%.
If that is a 1GbE link -> your lb shows wrong values (unless you found a way to run more than 1GBit on that link ;)) If it is a trunk -> you need to add the values of all interfaces If that's 10GBit Link -> open a ticket, the Ironware is buggy ;) btw, you can reduce the 300 seconds to 30 seconds with "load-interval 30" inside the interface config. kind regards Rolf > On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 12:14 PM, Harald Michl <[email protected]> > wrote: >> Hi Chris, >> >> On 03.02.2009, at 20:00, Chris Cameron wrote: >> >>> I may have asked the wrong question.
