1 simple question about network statistics for vnics: We noticed that the statistics for vnics (used by Virtualbox guests) are not there. When the nics are plumped in the host OS, we do see them showing up, but all all records are 0. Can someone tell me how to get the correct network info via snmp on the Vbox Host?? Thanks in advance.

Kristof,
the statistics incremented by the IP layer inside the Virtualbox guests
are visible inside those guests only
and not in the host.
The total bytes IN/OUT/Dropped per vnic stats are updated and visible in
the host.

You said: The total bytes IN/OUT/Dropped per vnic stats are updated and visible in the host. Where can I find those numbers? via snmp? or via dladm? Should I enable: svc:/system/extended-accounting:net K -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
