I don't know about tooBig error, but the two interfaces
are commented out because the maxbytes is 0.

I'm guessing the the first interface is Ethernet, so you'd probalby
want to set the maxbytes to 1250000 (if it is 10 MB/s Ethernet) and
uncomment it.

The second interface, I would guess is your connection to the 'Net
You should set the Maxbytes on that to whatever your download speed
divided by 8 is, and uncomment it as well. (Can you set different
MaxBytes for in and out??) What I notice as odd is that the second
interface didn't kick back an IP address (Either that or you
edited the file before sending it to the list...)

Also, remove completely the error from the .cfg file.

Has anyone figured out a way to monitor traffic utilization on a Cisco
675 ADSL router? Here's what I get when I try to run cfgmaker on one:

This router is running CBOS 2.2, which is the newest. Is the 'tooBig'
error status coming from the router or snmpwalk? (I'm kind of new to
SNMP..)    Thanks!
