William,

    I think the problem is your MAC address has invalid characters. Just
kidding :) Did you manually enter the bandwidth on that interface as 10
mbit, or did it default to that? You're running an older IOS (pre 12.1, I'm
guessing) that doesn't break the load down to input and output load. So the
load that it displays is both tx and rx. In your case it's about 29 mbit.
I think the router might just be confused because it thinks that 10 mbit is
255/255. Try setting the bandwidth to 100000 (100 mbit) and see if it looks
accurate. I don't know what the actual bandwidth of the the RSM interface
is, but it's probably about half a gigabit? Find out what the real max is
for it (I thought was the same as one of the 7500 RPs) and set it to that.
Hope this helps.
