When you perform (SNMP) test discovery against a router/switch, Traverse uses it's extensive library of Device Signatures to identify the type of device and automatically locate key availability and performance metrics. For a router/switch, this includes traffic volume, bandwidth utilization, packets transmitted, etc metrics for each interface. The default signature ignores certain types of interfaces - including Multilink, EtherChannel, GRE Tunnel and VLAN.
If you would like to include any/all of these interfaces included in the test discovery, download the corresponding Device Signature file to your Traverse server and place it under TRAVERSE_HOME/plugin/monitors directory. Substitute TRAVERSE_HOME with appropriate Traverse installation directory - On Windows this is typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Traverse while on Linux/Solaris this is /usr/local/travere. If Traverse is installed in distributed configuration with multiple DGEs, the file(s) should be copied into all BVE and DGE servers.
Now when you perform SNMP test discovery via Administration -> Devices -> Tests (for a suitable device) -> Create New Standard Tests, additional tests for the selected interface types will be included.
