My NOC is asking me to setup CRC collection on all routers (Cisco). There has to be an easier way than to create a custom poller and assign it to every WAN interface. We're talking about over 1,000 interfaces. This would be a logistical nightmare to manage, especially when adding and deleting devices.

 If that is the only way to go, does anyone know the oid for CRC errors.

 Thanks in advance...

CRC????

WARNING: This interface has received a high number (99.99893% of input packets) of packets with incorrect CRCs (corrupted data) (> 0.1%).   Problems that may cause this symptom include: 

a.       Noisy serial line  

b.       Serial cable is too long or cable from the CSU/DSU to the router is not      shielded  

c.       SCTE mode is not enabled on the DSU  

d.      The CSU line clock is incorrectly configured  

e.       A Ones density problem on the link (incorrect framing or coding      specification), exists 

f.        Verify the queuing strategies are the same on both ends of the link. 

 TRY THIS:  

1. Ensure that the line is clean enough for transmission requirements. Shield  the cable if necessary.  

2. Make sure the cable is within the recommended length (no more than 50 feet  [15.24 meters], or 25 feet [7.62 meters] for the link).  

3. Ensure that all devices are properly configured for a common line clock. Set serial clock transmit external (SCTE) on the local and remote DSU. If you are attempting serial connections at speeds greater than 64 kbps with a CSU/DSU that does not support (SCTE), you might have to invert the      transmit clock on the router.  Inverting the transmit clock compensates  for phase-shifts between the data and clock signals.  

4. Make certain that the local and remote CSU/DSU are configured for the same framing and coding scheme as that used by the leased-line or other  carrier service (for example, ESF/B8ZS). 

 5. Contact your leased-line or other carrier service and have them perform integrity tests on the line.

 Here are the OID and MIB for collecting CRC errors on an interface.

This is for CISCO


interface CRC Errors /OID/MIB

1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.2.1.1.12

OLD-CISCO-INTERFACES-MIB:locIfInCRC

I have the same requirement. I already created a custom poller with the OID mentioned here. I tested and was Ok but with value of 0.

 I indicated Counter and Keep real-time and historical statistics. But, Orion view shows me always a value of 0 for all my interfaces (+2000). The only data that really updates here, is the date for the polling.

Something like this at Orion's view once I selected a serial interface :

CRC_Errors (name of my custom poller)                             0                           Last polled: <current time>

 any ideas to solve my problem would be appraciated.

Thanks in advance
