Interswitch channel utilization monitoring

[epelser_2]

I have 4x 100/full fibre links between 5509 switches. What is the best way of monitoring the utilization of the entire channel. We are usning HP openview. We are running Cat5.5(18) and IOS 12.05 on the RSM.

Thank EP

According to my idea, you can try to use CISCO-PAGP-MIB variable (.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.98.1.1.1) and this variable supported from CatOS ver 5.2 onwards. This is the link which you can refer if you want...

For link utilization, you need to either monitor ifEntry (ifInOctets and ifOutOctets) for the ifIndex of that particular FEC channel.

Or you can use RMON application, like RTM.
