What do you think they should report? Do you know that each port actually has a different Mac?

i have multiple observium installations with force10 s25n, powerconnect 6224 and lots of different cisco switches.
on the force10 and powerconnects i see the same as you, with the same mac address on all interfaces. on my cisco devices theres different mac's on the ports.
so it's either a bug in FTOS and Powerconnect, or it's something deep within observium.

The same mac address for all port in all devices(dell 6248, force10). It's correct?

Hi all,
I have a Cisco 1900 ISR running IOS 15.2(4)M3.
Up until recently Observium has been logging Memory Pools like a champ. After a recent update, Observium now reports Mempool usage as zero. Not sure which svn update might have caused the issue, but i guess fairly recent as it was working Sunday, but now isn't.
Debug poller run seems to be reading the memory value from the device correctly, but the sql update appears to be using blank values..
/usr/bin/snmpget -v2c -c public -OQUs -m CISCO-ENHANCED-MEMPOOL-MIB -M /opt/observium/mibs/rfc:/opt/observium/mibs/net-snmp:/opt/observium/mibs/cisco udp:bdr-r1:161 cempMemPoolUsed.1.1 cempMemPoolFree.1.1 cempMemPoolLargestFree.1.1 cempMemPoolUsed.1.1 = 70189636 cempMemPoolFree.1.1 = 278369404 cempMemPoolLargestFree.1.1 = 134581436
0% RRD[update /opt/observium/rrd/bdr-r1/mempool-cemp-1.1.rrd N::] SQL[UPDATE `mempools-state` set `mempool_polled` ='1365570955',`mempool_used` ='',`mempool_perc` ='0',`mempool_free` ='',`mempool_total` ='0',`mempool_largestfree` ='',`mempool_lowestfree` ='' WHERE `mempool_id` = '39']
Any help appreciated.
Matt.

Hi Stefan many people who start using obs for first time realize what their vendor suck at snmp. It's just obs start exposing all kind nonsense. As people rarely poll these things specially. And only do important things like interface that's It.

The same mac address for all port in all devices(dell 6248, force10). It's correct?

It is quite normal for many switches to have identical MAC addresses on all ports.
My point was to actually check what the switch itself thinks its MAC addresses were before moaning
No one has bothered to do that, thus no one is bothering to look at their problem.

This is true
There is no problem in observium. Is completely normal the same mac address in many ports ...
