[mrtg] Re: Monitor inactive interfaces on switch

[Albinati, Luis Martin]

There is another problema with Catalyst Switches and that is that by
default, inactive interfaces have the Bandwith parameter set to 0, probably
because the Switch doesn't know if the port will be connected to a 100Mbps
or a 10Mbps NIC, but that makes cfgmaker to comment those ports arguing that
"Interface has a speed of 0 which makes no sense", I guess that could be
easily corrected by setting the parameter bandwith to 100 or 10 manually in
the configuration of the Switch.

Best regards,
Luis

cfgmaker will see all ports, however if a port is inactive at the time
you
run cfgmaker, it will put it in the config, but it will be commented
out.
At least thats what happens on 3com 3300's and 1100's I just uncommented
the
lines and that way if someone plugs in a cable on those interfaces, it
will
start charting.

Hi all,

how can I modify cfgmaker so that it'll monitor both active and inactive
interfaces on a switch?
