And against this switch I have run an SNMP query to interrogate the IF-MIB::ifLastChange for interface 42 and below is the output.

IF-MIB::ifLastChange.1042 = Timeticks: (2304794900) 266 days, 18:12:29.00

To convert the Timeticks (2304794900), I have used the following site

http://www.epochconverter.com/#

and converting Timeticks: (2304794900) =

GMT: Tue, 13 Jan 2043 20:48:20 UTC
Your timezone: 13 January 2043 20:48:20

Now my question is how can be. How can the Timeticks for this port reflect a futuristic date?

Naturally some where there is a bug and I do not believe the bug is with the Timeticks conversion process as I have verified the conversion process on a 2nd web site (http://www.onlineconversion.com/unix_time.htm)
and get the same output.

Timeticks: (2304794900) = Tue, 13 Jan 2043 20:48:20 UTC

So does any one have any idea where or what is causing this bug?

Hi hinesh,

And against this switch I have run an SNMP query to interrogate the IF-MIB::ifLastChange for interface 42 and below is the output.

IF-MIB::ifLastChange.1042 = Timeticks: (2304794900) 266 days, 18:12:29.00

This means that port 1/42 has changed its status after 266 days, 18:12:29 after the OmniSwitch was turned on.

Up Time: 267 days 0 hours 53 minutes and 21 seconds,

An 267 days 0 hours 53 minutes and 21 seconds ago your switch has been rebooted.
And after that, 266 days, 18:12:29 later, changed the port status to UP.

You don't need to convert Timestick value to human date, it shows difference between the start time of switch and change state of port.
