    Different number of buffer types SolarWind versus Cisco

    Network Performance Monitor knows 5 types of buffers ( switch | CPU Load and Memory Use | Memory/Buffer Failures):

    Small (blue), Medium (violet), Big (cyan),           Large (green), Huge (yelow).

    Cisco switches know 6 types o buffers (see show buffers command) :

    Small,          Middle,             Big,      VeryBig,  Large,             Huge.

    Does it mean that very big buffers are not scanned? How to understand it?

    I have Version 8.2 May 2005, Network Performance Monitor Engine 8.2.34, Database Engine: MS Jet

    Thanks in advance, Tomas

     Yes true, only 5 buffers. To my knowledge it is the VeryBig that NPM does not poll-

    Okay, and the reason NPM does not poll the VeryBig buffer is why?  I would think this would have been added some time ago to the product. I have always been curious to know.

    Can someone answer this question?  It looks like Orion is missing VeryBig buffers.
