In a fit of needing a diversion i installed filer-mrtg yesterday and boy is it cool!
I do have a question for those in the know though - i'm having a hard time correlating the "Network Kbytes sent and recieved" with the "Network Interface Sent And Received" I would figure that on a system with 1 interface that these graphs should be pretty much identical - but on some systems the path of the graph is very similar but the numbers are really different - sometimes as much as 2-1 in favor of the "Network Kbytes Sent and Recieved" category. Is this a bug - or am i missing something here....
Thanks for any info you all can provide.

I have a problem with the F760 that I don't really believe:
I found that I couldn't get an ethernet connection from a F760 to a Fore Systems switch (a 3810 with ESM24 cards). I tried all combinations of mediatype "auto" / "fd" etc. Then we found a per port configuration option on the 3810 that enabled "polarity correction". If we enable this the ethernet connection worked.
We then tried making a special cable and found that if we could get it to work (with "polarity correction" disabled) if we crossed over 1 & 2.
When we tried connecting the F760 to another vendors hubs it worked with either the normal cable or the special cross over cable. We also tried connecting a Sun Ultra 2 to the Fore hub, this only worked with the normal cable, not with the special cross over cable.
Is it possible that NetApp are shipping F760s with pins 1 and 2 of the on board ethernet port incorrectly connected?
Has anyone else seen anything like this?
