Hello
I have a RB1100Hx2 acting as hotspot controller for a 50ish APs, using different VLANs (3 hotspots and 1 admin). I have noticed that the global traffic on interface does not match the VLAN traffic, and i don’t understand why.. see picture attached.
Sum(VLANs) in eth1 traffic ~= 1Mbps
total eth1 traffic ~= 3 or 4Mbps.
Where are the missing 2-3Mbps ?
Thanks
are you sure about the configuration? maybe you are missing some lines and traffic being routed/forwarded vial master interface?
if you post more details about the config you are using, this will help to figure out.
Check if some trafic passtrough the untagged ether1 interface. The SUM you said is the SUM of the parent interface + sub interfaces. The difference between the parent interface - SUM(each sub interface) are the Untagged traffic.
Well i have no address assigned to ether1, therefore i should not have any untagged traffic.. How can I check this traffic?
use firewall filter to allow your hotspots / admin IPs only and drop everything else. then check if your connections will work, start debugging from this point.
The IFace trafic is independant than the IP Address. Refer to the OSI Model, I assume than the Interface counter are the Layer2 Frames and not the Layer 3 (packets). So it doesn’t care about the Ip address. Like PPPoE. The Interface where is listening the server PPPoE should show you in outbound (EGress) the total packets aggregate for all active session.
I said, it should…
