Missing ifHC mib entries in IOS 12.1.(8a)E4 and (8b)E6

[iswift]

There appears to be nothing under the ifHC branch of the If-Mib tree :

"ifHCInOctets" "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6"

"ifHCInUcastPkts" "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.7"

"ifHCInMulticastPkts" "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.8"

"ifHCInBroadcastPkts" "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.9"

"ifHCOutOctets" "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10"

"ifHCOutUcastPkts" "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.11"

"ifHCOutMulticastPkts" "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.12"

"ifHCOutBroadcastPkts" "1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.13"

We have tried browsing Cat6509's with both IOS 12.1.(8a)E4 and 12.1.(8b)E6.

I have tried the bug toolkit to no avail.

Are you using SNMP v2c/v3 to poll these 64-bit counters?.12.1(13)E4 works ok.

[iswift]

Thankyou.

I have asked if an upgrade is possible for this customer.

What is the issue with v2c/v3 SNMP ? Is it supported ?

In order to poll 64-bit countes you must use SNMP v2c/v3, other wise it will not work (unless it's a bug)

[iswift]

Does this mean they will get an error or that the data will appear not to be there ?

I can see what you are saying, if the value is a 64-bit entry and the version of SNMP you are using does not support 64-bit data then you are bound to experience a problem.

You will not get any results.
