[mrtg] Re: need pointer..

[Scheidel, Greg]

To reference the devices by IP address instead of SNMP IF reference, use the
format '/<interface ip address>:<SNMP string>@<device primary IP address>.

So the update of your example would be:

Target[this.device.net]: /10.0.0.1:snmp-string at xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx
MaxBytes[this.device.net]: 192000
Title[this.device.net]: blah blah blah: Serial2/0:0
PageTop[this.device.net]: blah blah blah Serial2/0:0

This works on at least v2.7.5 and later; I don't know about earlier versions
as I was using v2.7.5 and did not bother researching earlier versions.


I don't think I understand your question about using the 'Cisco interface
descriptors.'  You can change the text in your *.cfg files however you'd
like, to display whatever text you want. ?

Hey Folks!

I think I got in on this list at the end of the discussion about tracking
CISCO interfaces (or any interface/device) by IP address for the sole
purpose of keeping myself sane when interfaces get changed without notice.
How is this done?  Do I just adjust the follow names with the associated
ip address???

ie...

change this.device.net to 10.0.0.1

for the following..

Target[this.device.net]: x:snmp-string at xxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxx
MaxBytes[this.device.net]: 192000
Title[this.device.net]: blah blah blah: Serial2/0:0
PageTop[this.device.net]: blah blah blah Serial2/0:0


Also, I was wondering about how to use the interface descriptors fpr CISCO
products instead of interface names...IE dont use Serial2/0:0 but use Kick
ass Connection to my House...(this  would be in the cisco description
config for the interface).


Again thanks for your help!
