nagios and check_snmp

[Eric Marquez]

I have a question and I need to understanding around the
IF-MIB::ifOutOctets.x mib.  Here's what I'm doing...

I have nagios setup with check_snmp I want it to do this
 check_snmp --oid="IF-MIB::ifInOctets.235" -P 2c -l  -C 'community'  -H
switch.example.com

it returns back the following value.
OK - 2840686911 | IF-MIB::ifInOctets.235=2840686911c;;;;

I need to set a warning and critical alert at a certain level.
what does 2840686911 represent bits per second?

I need nagios to start warning at 75 Mbs and go critical at 95 Mbs.  I can't
get a handle on what the ifInOctets is telling me about the interface.  Can
somebody straighten me out.

Thanks in advance.
