SNMP VLAN Statistics

I'm playing around with SNMP monitoring to get traffic statistics by VLAN. Now I figured out, that almost all VLAN interfaces have the same bytes in counters (also all other counters are the same abo...

I had 11.3.0 some issue of sysVlanStatTable or sysVlanxStatTable.

Can see WAN2 and WAN3 at the 1.2, but they have the same statistical value.

I've got an answer to my case: ID382157 states that the statistics exposed via tables sysVlanStatTable and sysVlanxStatTable represent the sum of the vlan's interfaces/ifx stats, not the stats for the individual vlan. In reality this means that any vlans enabled for the same interfaces, will display the same stats. If there is anything unclear, please let me know and I will try to answer your question. Unfortunately there is no fix or workaround available for this issue. so this means there is a bug, which confirms this behaviour and it will be fixed only in 11.5.
