1750 interface txload rxload definition

[jdatsjusd]

I am trying to find out Cisco`s definition of txload and rxload amount on a interface serial or lan. example 66/255. What does it represent?
Does anyone of a answer?

This gives the aprox load as a percentage of utilization on the link just divide 66/255 and it will give you the approx. utilization of the link .

Well I figured that was it-- however, if I run the Solorwinds real time monitor on the exact same router, I can get info that say`s the link ( it`s a T1 ) serial- or lan ( depending on which one I am monitoring ) is running say @ 137% over the 1.54 T1 for example , Yet when I look at the router sh interface ,txload or rxload it shows maybe 66/255????

Now I am not sure if the Cisco info is correct- or Solorwinds is right?

I have not seen Solarwinds make that kind of mistake other then when either the wrong MIB is used or the interface bandwidth is not set correctly on Solarwinds. Do you have the full T or is solarwinds thinking it's a fractional T?

Solarwinds shows it as a 1.54. when I start real time monitor on a router which is the correct speed.

I never set anything on Solarwinds. ( I am using sa demo copy )

I asume Solarwinds in accrute??

Which tool are you using? There are several to pick from. The router counter is an average, not real time so it has been misleading in the past if the problem is "bursty" and not sustained traffic flow.

The Network Performance tool is the one I use the most and has been very reliable. It will save all the data to a data base and allow you to drill into the data to as far as the router can supply data points, generally about every 2 minutes.
