Hello,
in my company we are deploying a new MPLS network mainly based on G.SHDSL technology.
According to the bandwidth needs, some branch offices use only the "port 0" or both "port 0" and "port 1" (a few will have even port2 )
If I explore via SNMP the configuration, I can see that offices using only "port 0" have the atm0/0/0 interface up while offices equipped with both port0 and port1 have (of course) both atm0/0/0 and atm0/0/1 interfaces are up.
I'm now trying to setup our NMS (Zabbix) to collect traffic information for ATM ports via SNMP using IfInOctets and ifOutOctets counters. I noticed that even if the router has two atm interfaces up (atm0/0/0 and atm0/0/1) only atm0/0/0 counters report the traffic while atm0/0/1 always report 0. It seems that all traffic flows thru atm0/0/0.
Is this by design? Can I simply ignore other intefaces and get statistics from atm0/0/0 only?
Thanks in advance
