Series 800 showing 0 bits/second on FastEthernet

arstrand2 · ‎09-05-2006

I noticed that my Cisco 831 is showing 0 bits/second on all FastEthernet ports but the Ethernet ports display bits/second. Is there a reason for this difference? Can this be changed and if it is changed what is the implications if any?

Thanks.

hii,

can you please elaborate on what connections are terminated on both these i/f??

arstrand2 · ‎09-06-2006

Sure. Ethernet1 is the WAN port on the output of the router that connects to the CableModem. The FastEthernet1-4 ports are the 4 ports on the router that are connected to other things. FastEthernet1 is my Linksys PAP for VOIP that I am trying to setup QOS on. My configuration isn't working here from what I can see so I am starting at the top trying to figure out why the FastEthernet isn't displaying traffic in bits/second.

Does this help?

Hi Allen

What kinda QOS you are trying to apply over there in your router ?

Since its gonna be a internet connection i don't think QOS wont be effective in your scenario.

Also you query on the bits/second is also not very clear.

Are you trying to get some info like traffic statistics from your router?

Can you post the show interface outputs of the respective interfaces ?

Thanks for the note. Clearly QOS won't be as effective as if I could tag the items and pass through the entire network but I am attempting to give LLQ priority to packets from the Linksys PAP port to that traffic. All I can hope to accomplish is to make certain my PAP traffic takes priority over my other upload traffic. This obviously may not work as well as I hope but should give me some benefit by throttling down the internet upload traffic when I am on the phone.

I know something isn't configured correctly which is why I am starting at the top one step at a time.

Per request -- the show interface commands. I have attempted to highlight the areas in question with HTML bold commands. I am looking at the 5 minute lines and the pack input line. I did in fact exercise FastEthernet1 when I capture this out.

Thanks so much for the ideas.

Hi

You are not seeing the data on the input rate line because of the high bandwidth capacity of the interface.

The Calculation being done to derive the input and output rates does takes the speed parameter configured under the interface.

In the previous case of ethernet interface the base value being used is 10000 Kbit and now with the new fastethernet interface it takes 100000 Kbit for calulation.

Since it may be a negligible traffic when compared to the base value which it can display thats the main reason you are not seeing traffic stat details on the interface.

You can try changing the speed to 10Mbps and check ,but its better to operate with 100Mbps on the operational point of view.

Also you can try changing load-interval to 30 seconds instead of the default 5 mins.

load-interval 30 is the command required under the interface to change the same.

Hii,

the interface rate of 0 as shown is visible due to the negligent traffic as compared to the exteranal i/f where its showing 23 odd traffic.further pls set the interface interval to 30 seconds so that there could be a better minute polling of the traffic.

pls rate if it helps.
