      Hi.

      I use pfSense at work.
      I have recently added a VLAN for phones and I see a very strange RRD graph for this VLAN :
      Traffic : http://i.imgur.com/FU1TerC.png
      Packets : http://i.imgur.com/bUxcxuX.png

      I also monitor the pfSense with Zabbix.
      The pfsense is connected with a 1 Gbps Ethernet link to a switch and I don't see this traffic on the pfSense port :

      I don't see the traffic on the switch port :

      I noticed last night a strange 8 Gbps inbound traffic on this VLAN :
      http://i.imgur.com/QbQxgLM.png

      I activated logs for blocked traffic : nothing abnormal.
      I tried to capture traffic with tcpdump : nothing abnormal.
      What can be this traffic ? Could be generated by pfSense ?

      The interface counters are normal and grows normally :

      In/out packets 	51771976/66960906 (56.84 GB/84.03 GB)
      In/out packets (pass) 	51771976/66960906 (56.84 GB/84.03 GB)
      In/out packets (block) 	152324/4 (28.12 MB/312 bytes)
      

      pfInfo shows very few Packets/Bytes for this interface :

      igb0_vlan13

      Out6/Block:  [ Packets: 4                  Bytes: 312                ]
      

      RRD graphs for other interfaces/VLANs are normal.

      Thank you very much for any help.
      Note : I use pfSense 2.1.5, I will try to upgrade soon.

        I think the traffic is OK but the RRD graphs are wrong.

        Values obtainted from pfctl for this interface :

        # polling packets for interface opt9 igb0_vlan13
        
        /sbin/pfctl -vvsI -i igb0_vlan13 | awk '\
        ? /In4\/Pass/ { b4pi = $4 };/Out4\/Pass/ { b4po = $4 };/In4\/Block/ { b4bi = $4 };/Out4\/Block/ { b4bo = $4 };\
        ? /In6\/Pass/ { b6pi = $4 };/Out6\/Pass/ { b6po = $4 };/In6\/Block/ { b6bi = $4 };/Out6\/Block/ { b6bo = $4 };\
        ? END {print b4pi ":" b4po ":" b4bi ":" b4bo ":" b6pi ":" b6po ":" b6bi ":" b6bo};'
        
        51796980:66993333:149183:0:0:0:3218:4                                 
        51796985:66993341:149183:0:0:0:3218:4
        51797007:66993370:149183:0:0:0:3218:4
        51797441:66993922:149183:0:0:0:3218:4
        51797478:66993971:149183:0:0:0:3218:4
        

        They seem to be OK :

        Values obtained from rrdtool dump :

        There is something wrong !
        Where does these value come from ?

        Values do not match :

        /var/db/rrd(137): /sbin/pfctl -vvsI -i igb0_vlan13
        igb0_vlan13

          OK, I have found the problem.
          There was many updaterrd script running.
          I disabled RRD graphs, clean graphs, kill old rrd related process.
          Everything is normal now.
