I just threw out a really quick idea as people seem to be having this problem more and more and it almost always new users. <br><br>Just thought that if cfgmaker was told to use snmpv1 (maybe v3) then it will default to use v2c. Then it would check for both the ifHC[in|out]octets and if[In|Out]octets. If the ifHC[In|Out]octets returns what seems to be a valid result for the snmp ifnumber/ifindex then it will use that. Should that poll return anything that wouldn't be a valid result (string, error, etc..) then fail automatically to the older 32 bit counters.
<br><br>I'm willing to bet that most vendors these days do support the 64 bit counters. I know all but 1 of the vendors I work with support them (Cisco, Juniper (M/E Series), Redback, Foundry, and ECI).<br><br>Again, if I could do anything more than write a 10 line perl script I would happily give this a shot but I just don't have that ability nor the time these days (CCIE is killing me).

Hi Jan,<br><br>so what you suggest is to have cfgmaker test on its own if the<br>router can do snmpv2 and use it automatically ? The thing MrPaul<br>wants it for mrtg to try and poll oids which are defined in snmpv2<br>ONLY via snmpv1 ...
