[f-nsp] VE usage stats via SNMP

["Rolf Hanßen"]

Hi,

we also had that discussion with Brocade. We were told this is not
supported and won't be for the old linecards.

There are 2 humble alternatives:
-You can use the "byte-accounting" / "vlan-accounting" feature within the
vlan. Maybe it's enabled global / by default with newer releases.
But this will only record the inbound traffic.

-You can setup rate-limiters for each vlan on each interface and query
them with SNMP. That's what Foundry suggested.

But in both cases you cannot use the Interface-MIBs, afaik you need to use
those (only tried the first way):
enterprises.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.25
enterprises.1991.1.1.3.16.1.2

If you have an MLXe you could buy the 8x10G Cards, they will have that
feature.

regards
Rolf
