The problem was corrected by loading a different version of IOS on the Cisco router. The figures reported to Radiator now appear to be correct. Thanks for everyones responses and suggestions.

You should check with Cisco to ascertain exactly what the counters comprise. There could also be a bug of course. regards Hugh On Tuesday, Sep 2, 2003, at 15:34 Australia/Melbourne, Cory Bicknell, Systems Engineer wrote: > Hi, > > I am running Radiator 2.16.3 with a Cisco 2611 running IOS 12.1(5)T9 > running > as our NAS.
