SNMP reporting incorrect link speed on bonded interface
Issue
-
When the SNMP master server contacts the RHEL box, it asks for metrics from Ethernet devices. One such metric is the number of bytes passed. Another parameter extracted is the speed of the interface. When the interface reports 20 Mbps traffic on a link thats advertising 10Mbps, the error flag is generated. We need to get the SNMP queries to the RHEL SNMP client to properly report the Link-Speed of the active member of the bonded interface. Worst case would be a bonded pair of 100Mbps and 1000Mbps, with the 1000Mbps active.

A properly handled SNMP query should check #bytes passed and the link speed of the active member of the bonded interface, perhaps?
