[f-nsp] [cacti-user] Graphing Brocade MLXe (and MLX and XMR?) IPv4 and IPv6 interface counters in Cacti

Tue Jun 28 14:42:52 EDT 2011

 Hi Frank,

 It seems your brocade_mlxe_counters.xml is indeed only for MLX based 
 machines. For example all TX/RX oids your using 
 (.1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.2.2.21.1) are non-filled (not even zero).

 I will give it a shot to find the correct oid. How did you find the 
 correct ones?

 Regards,
 Gerwin Krist
