Hi Guys,
I have an issue here monitoring one of the sub-interfaces on a client's router. And I have no clue, any suggestions?
There are a few working instances of the OID for the monitoring of other links (also on sub-interfaces) out but this in particular doesn't and I can't figure out why.
An SNMP get at this interface index shows missing instances which is required for our NMS to work.
IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus.17 = INTEGER: up(1)
IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.17 = INTEGER: up(1)
IF-MIB::ifInOctets.17 = Counter32: 2683738196
IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.17 = Counter32: 2587587602
IF-MIB::ifInUcastPkts.17 = Counter32: 276106163
IF-MIB::ifInNUcastPkts.17 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
IF-MIB::ifOutUcastPkts.17 = Counter32: 4244077444
IF-MIB::ifOutNUcastPkts.17 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
IF-MIB::ifInErrors.17 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
IF-MIB::ifOutErrors.17 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
IF-MIB::ifInDiscards.17 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
IF-MIB::ifOutDiscards.17 = No Such Instance currently exists at this OID
Interface Configuration
interface FastEthernet0/1.114
bandwidth 8192
encapsulation dot1Q 114
ip address *removed*
ip flow ingress
ip flow egress
no cdp enable
Cisco IOS Version
c2800nm-advipservicesk9-mz.124-9.T.bin
Any help provided will be deeply appreciated.

It sounds like your NMS may be a bit archaic when it comes to sparse table handling. Most NMSes these days can handle situations where certain objects in a table are not instantiated. What you can do to workaround this is to configure:
no snmp-server sparse
When you do that, the missing objects should be instantiated with 0 values.

Thanks for the reply Joseph, I'm not sure whether that is the cure for this issue. We are suspecting that the router might have gone bonkas and though we may kinow after a reboot to the device. Anyway, the stats for that link is of lesser priority now since it'd be replaced shortly, so we have decided to ignore the issue for now.
