Cricket

[mcarey]

I just setup our Cricket SNMP server to poll our firewall for statistics (number of connections, passed vs. dropped packets, etc.). However, at one point the counter wrapped to a negative number so Cricket did not know what to do with it.

Questions:

1) Why would a counter wrap to negative number?

2) Is there a way to clear these counters without rebooting the devices?

3) What OIDs are you using to get data from your firewall?

Update - Nokia has confirmed this to be a bug if anyone else experiences it. I'll keep you posted.

which version of IPSO and Check Point + HFA ?

I am also getting ready to start monitoring my nokia's via Nokia SNMP and Check Point SNMP. Would be very interested to know the outcome.

thx!

IPSO 3.8 version R55P

Getting back into this project again and monitoring OID's. I'm working in an enviroment with both R55p and R62, all on Nokia platforms. I'm using cricket and have a base set of OID's I'm using, but still need to add more (i.e., interface bits). If anyone else is doing this, what are you graphing?

Anyone know why the counters would be different for the Ethernet vs. IP Layer?

%snmpwalk -c public 172.30.2.137 ifDesc
