Jason, I do monitor the NonUnicast packets in our vlan's. These are monitored at the router module in the 6509's. I.m.o. it makes no sense to monitor the broadcasts at all the interfaces. An example config:
Directory[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: Network\Routers\RTAVHZK041 Options[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: growright, nopercent, perminute, integer YLegend[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: Packets Target[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.12\Vlan162&.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.18\Vlan162:[EMAIL PROTECTED] MaxBytes[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: 12500000 Title[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: MRTG: Non-unicast Packets per minute in VLAN 162 PageTop[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: <H1>Non-unicast packets per minute in VLAN 162</H1> ShortLegend[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: pkt/min WithPeak[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: ymwd kMG[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: Legend1[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: Non-unicast packets IN during interval Legend2[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: Non-unicast packets OUT during interval Legend3[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: Peak # of Non-unicast packets IN during interval Legend4[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: Peak # of Non-unicast packets OUT during interval LegendI[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: # In: LegendO[RTAVHZK041.broadcast162]: # Out: <TABLE> <TR><TD>System:</TD> <TD>RTAVHZK041 (Routermodule) in BSAVHZK041</TD></TR> <TR><TD>Description:</TD><TD># Non-unicast packets per minute in VLAN 162</TD></TR> </TABLE> Since the number of packets per second is rather low in most of our vlan's I use the per minute option to get a sensible graph. Hth, Jan. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Humes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 8:36 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [mrtg] Early apology... Just let me start off with an early apology...I've been using MRTG for about a year now, but only for basic traffic graphing using cfgmaker and the most basic of setups. But recently a client has asked us to graph broadcast traffic on their network. I found a template which will graph NUcastPkts among a few other things and I was wondering where to put this template and if it is possible to update it with the newer broadcast only O.I.D. Also, when graphing packets/s instead of bits/s, does anything need to be done so that the graphs display properly? Has anyone ever tried graphing broadcast packets on a Cisco 6509? Thanks very much.
