nBar on 1700 router

rmt
Level 1
Level 1

I am running ADSL on a 1700 router and trying to implement some application monitoring with Highlight. If I monitor the ethernet interface I can see all the in/out traffic without problems but when I try the same for the adsl interface I get mixed results. If I monitor on atm0 i get no data at all, if I monitor the dialer interface i get inbound data only and i can not get any stats for the atm sub-interfaces at all (even with nBar configured on them). Here is the config:

I believe nbar is a qos mechanism and not monitoring mechanism.

are you trying to monitor with snmp?

Since NBAR is an IP based technology I will not expect it to work on an interface that does not have routing enabled (it does not have an ip address). I will think that NBAR should be enabled on the dialer interface then.

As not having outbound traffic, I noticed that your default route points to dialer 2, which I did not find in your config. Is dialer the outbound interface from your route table, or is it going out through another interface? If another interface is the outbound interface, then you will not notice any outbound traffic from NBAR.
