That brings up an interesting question (in my mind anyway). What affect does using (or not using) 'Options: bits' have on things such as ifInErrors? If the numbers collected are presented in Bytes by default, and using the option 'bits' scales and presents them in (bytes * 8), wouldn't the same thing be true for other OID's? In other words, should one use 'Options: bits' when collecting errors and such? I use 'Options: bits' as a standard, so never really thought about it. Thoughts????? Am I missing something here?
