Hi There,
We are seeing an issue with the SNMP cellular interface counters on a Max BR1 Mini. Firmware 7.0.3
For each interface there are two different counters. 32bit ifInOctets/ifOutOctets and 64bit ifHCInOctets and ifHCOutOctets.
The 32bit counters are used primaraly with SNMPv1 and the 64bit with SNMPv2c and v3.
When polling both counters, we see major increases in the 64bit counter that we do not see in the 32bit counter, where we expect the increase to be the same.
I’ve written a little script (for testing) that polls the device every 30 seconds and displays the calculation for both OIDs.
In the output below you can see that in the first poll the OctDiff (Octets increased in the last 30 second) is the same for the normal and the HC counter.
In the second poll you can see that this is still correct for the Input, yet the 64bit output counter is completly wrong. It indicates a speed of 1.1Gbps.
Then at the third poll it’s normal again.
It should be easy to replicate if you poll a device with the OIDs below (ifIndex in this case is 4).
ifInOctets = .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.10.4
ifOutOctets = .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.4
ifHCInOctets = .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.4
ifHCOutOctets = .1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.4
Calculated over last 30 seconds (first poll)
