Hi Daniel J McDonald, Good day!
Thanks for the advice to fix our IPSO firewall packet collisions issue, however this only workable for firewall but in BIG-IP load balancer, it didn't work, my efforts as follows: > use the same MIB file ETHERLIKE-MIB to retrieve an information from > BIG-IP-LB but failed. >use the MIB file from MIBdepot site that grouped under F5 big-IP vendor area, the correct MIB file to get this monitoring item dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames,dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrames,dot3StatsExcessiveCollisions,dot3StatsLateCollisions) is F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM-MIB, after put this MIB file into the GEtif folder, i can see the symbolic name appeared in the GEtif list but while i trying to retrieve the result remotely it was failed, no result shown, the snmp connectivity is fine, just wondering why i can't retrieve the information. Seeking your kind advise to fix this issue. Thanks in advance. Regards Cheng - System Engineer.
