Hi Guys,

 

Firstly, apologies for the screen-shots / attachments, but they are required to demonstrate the oddness…

 

I think there is a scaling issue on (or I’m not understanding) the Fabric load bars for the Catalyst 6k.

 

In short, the load bars (to the right of the mini-graph) always seem to show zero, or near zero, even though load is not zero. Example below or attached (or missing, depending on how this list handles images J)

 

 

All bars are showing 2% Ingress and 1% Egress.

 

Below is a zoomed in version of the graphic for Slot 1 Fabric 0:

 

 

 

This shows ingress is 4% and egress is 2% right now.

 

Load is quite low at the moment so it’s not an excellent example I agree - but I can honestly say that even when it’s high the most I see on those bars is 2%.

 

So, am I being stupid (quite possible) and these bars mean something else or is there some sort of issue with them or their maths?

 

We have 11 of these chassis, and I’ve checked them all. They all either show zero or are reading 1 or 2% despite having much higher real loads.

 

Such as this one:

 

 

Maybe if anyone else can check their bars and let me know if it’s just me?

 

Cheers!
