What network card do you use? I have similar observation on Atheros lan card, but works fine on Realtek card in another workstation, so I am wondering if this is lan card related.
I noticed a strange pattern of tx/rx data, which may give a clue as to why snmp data apears and disappears frequently.
I have ordered an Intel card but it can take up to 3 or 4 weeks until I replace the Atheros card and report back if there is any change, as I have no direct access to the workstation in question and it’s not on top of my priority list. If you find a workaround until that time please let me know. Maybe others have experienced disappearing snmp data and have a solution to this. Thanks.
I have replaced the network card today, but I can still see the same weird tx pattern as before. The pattern differs when compared to the wireless link and the SNMP information still disappears once in a while.
Maybe it is due to the network card configuration, maybe due to the router in that site. Cat 5e cable was checked and is all fine. I can’t troubleshoot any further because I am not the siteowner, therefore any suggestions would be much appreciated.
just a bug in dude … it cant always keep up with how many probes its doing, so the snmp will timeout and not show labels properly.
it could also be multihomed machine returning snmp packets via a different source ip, which wont make it back to dude. Please MT - allow SNMP to be bound to a specific interface on the box, preferrably lo interface : )
