RE: iSeries Interface Uptime Stats

Even though my SNMP attributes said to start automatically, mine was not running. When I started and queried it, I got:
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (10313) 0:01:43.13

That shows the uptime for SNMP. I doubt an Ethernet interruption would change that, unless SNMP failed and needed to be restarted.

Kirk,

I've never worked with SNMP, but I understand that you should be able to query networking stats. Whether that would show you what you need is unknown...

Subject: iSeries Interface Uptime Stats

Is there a place in the iSeries to pull the amount of time an Ethernet Line has been up? Let's assume the system has been up for 90 days. TCP/IP has been up the whole time, the line has been Varied On etc. So assuming it has been exactly 90 days ( 129,600 minutes ) and say there was a Switch problem that caused the iSeries Line to Fail for say 60 minutes until the switch issue was resolved. Is there a stat buried that either A. Says the line has been up for x amount of minutes B. Says the line has been up since this date/time C. or ???

Or do I really need to rely on an external program / device to get these stats?

Thanks
