Yes (Supposedly). And Yes.  I'm not convinced, but they won't troubleshoot the case further until I do.
SNMP counters and descriptions aren't being updated for AE interfaces >9. I troubleshot this to the actual switch. For example in bytes is 48, it doesn't change. If I look at the counters for the physical interface, they update as expected. Also, the >9 is wierd. AE0-9 work as expected. AE10-? don't update properly.

This is only for SNMP. If you look at the interface counters under 'show interface', they update as expected. The correct description is also shown.  I tried restarting SNMP and it didn't make a difference.

Also worth noting is that this oddity/problem doesn't appear to impact the flow of traffic through the box, nor the ability of the AE interface to function in any way (such as LACP failover).

Yes, I've been made aware of that now. :-)

Thanks.
