[mrtg] SNMPGET problem

[Garman, Christopher]

In trying to get some stats off our firewall, I get the following error:

SNMP Error:
Received SNMP response with error code
  error status: noSuchName
  index 4 (OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0)
SNMPv1_Session (remote host: "x.x.x.x" [x.x.x.x].260
                  community: "yyyy"
                 request ID: 603661648
                PDU bufsize: 8000 bytes
                    timeout: 10s

SNMPGET Problem for 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.4.0 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.4.0
sysUptime sysName on yyyy0 at x.x.x.x:260:10
SNMPGET: Failed to reach target:
"1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.4.0&1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.4.0:yyyy at x.x.x.x:260:10". I
tried multiple times!


The thing that puzzles me is this line:

SNMPGET Problem for 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.4.0 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.1.4.0
sysUptime sysName on yyyy0 at x.x.x.x:260:10

It looks like MRTG is trying to get sysUptime and sysName in addition to the
OIDs I specified.  Since the sysName is not set, MRTG generates the above
message.  Is this default behavior?  Can it be changed?
