Interface Traffic Graph issue?

RouterOS General
1

All,

Can someone verify this issue for me (on their RouterOS):

In Winbox>Interfaces>Interface List>[any interface]>Traffic tab, does the graph seem to “drop off” about every 3 - 3.5 minutes and not show traffic for a few counts? Could this be a Winbox software issue? RouterOS issue?

I’m running a Routerboard 532A with RouterOS 2.9.39 (upgraded today).

I need to verify that its a graphing/Winbox issue or if it is indeed hardware/OS. May have to RMA this unit. Thanks.

I can send screenshots of this for clarification.

Thanks

Wes, I do not think the following case is RMA unit.
Could you provide us with screenshots of current graphs ?

Yes! How would you suggest I do that? Do you suggest I upload to the forum? I can do that.

If the router is too busy, or the network traffic is dropped between windox and router, you will see drops in that graph. Its a low priority update to winbox and therefore isn’t guaranteed to display 100% of the time. In the older graphs they were horizontal lines which hid this affect - the newer 2.9 series each data point is a vertical line and if one is missed you notice. No problems though - its somewhat normal.

Thanks Sam. That is what I was hoping for as well, I had seen the same effect when I was changing views/windows or doing something else in Windows but I was not sure.

I have also posted in RouterBoard’s forum if anyone has had issues with the NICs and if it is a hardware issue. I am having CRC issues using my 532A as a traffic control device between a WAN and LAN.

But that is another issue.
