Hi Tom,
A bit off-topic, but since you asked: BrainDeath BBS is running again since the end of 2013. It was great fun installing everything again from scratch, but now that it's running, it's not that much fun anymore... would be better if people would call in more often :) I remember your name, but I don't know details anymore... you had a bbs as well?
Regards, Tom

Sounds like you've got a buggy SNMP implementation on your switch. Try making sure you've got the latest software on your switches. You can see the snmp counters by using snmpwalk directly on most platforms ... snmpwalk -v 2c -c <YOUR COMMUNITY> <YOURHOST> ifTable
You can also walk just specific portions by replacing ifTable with the portion you're interested in, or use snmpget instead of snmpwalk to get a single specific counter. YMMV because some distributions do not setup their command line snmp stuff correctly to find the MIBs (Observium works by explicitly setting this to known working values and shipping MIB definitions)
^ Sound advice!
For completeness:
Hi Tom,
How's Braindeath BBS doing? Still up according to the googles?!
I know that this switch is not in the supported devices list, but as far as I know the default snmp pollings should provide correct numbers for bandwidth statistics, no?
Yes, IF-MIB should do all ports just fine no matter what device type, as long as the device's SNMP stack is sane.
Tom
