[mrtg] Re: Interface reference

[David Sawyer]

You could reference you targets by description, ie

Interface by Description

You might want to use the interface names. This works similar to the IP
address approach only that the prefix to use is a \ instead of a / 
You can tell cfgmaker to generate such references with the option
--ifref=descr.

Example:

 Target[ezwf]: \My-Interface2:public at wellfleet-fddi.ethz.ch
 Target[ezci]: -\My-Interface2:public at ezci-ether.ethz.ch
 Target[ezwf]:
1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14\My-Interface2&1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.14\My-Interface3:public
@myrouter
 Target[ezwf]:
ifInErrors\My-Interface2&ifOutErrors\My-Interface3:public at myrouter


But swapping like for like, I don't see how that could change the interface
number order.
