Incoherence in interface error stats on GTM

Hi,

 

 

Output from "b interface" shows that the error count is augmenting, however this is incoherent with "b interface errors" and ifconfig -a outputs. How could that be, a bug?

 

 

Thanks for any help.

    What version of software are you using? Not necessarily a bug. They may be pulling from different tables, and you may not have had any in the recent past.

    i understand it shows different "error" statistics.

     

     

    the b interface all errors statistics definition can be found in F5-BIGIP-SYSTEM mib file i.e. under SysDot3StatEntry (.1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.1.2.11.1.3.1)
