aiClientTxRate and aiClientRxRate OID returns too high Values

    Hi all, 

     

    I'm trying to monitorize wireless client rates via SNMP using the aiClientTxRate and  aiClientRxRate OIDs included in the AI-AP-MIB. 

     

    The obtained results are not the expected. The returned values are too high and the summarized values are around 6 Gb for each of the WLANs. 

     

    I've seen the OID aiClientRxDataBytes in the same mib, and I think the returned values are more accurate. The problem is this value is a counter, so it complicates the processing of the data by our monitoring system.

     

    Have anyone experienced these behaviour? Can anyone confirm this or tell me if I'm wrong?

     

    Regards, 

    Victor.

    Do you have any examples?

    Sure! I attach a file with the snmpwalk query and response.

     

    The value returned is supposed to be Mbps. I can assure that the wireless clients are not consuming those bandwidths.

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Those values are transmit rates, not data transmitted.  The parallel would be the output from the "show ap debug client-table ap-name <name of ap>"

    Got it. I'll use aiClientTxDataBytes instead to obtain the value that I need. 

     

    thanks!
