[mrtg] Re: Linux Aliased Ethernet Traffic Graphing

I can't say I've tried to chart aliased interfaces on a linux box,
but I think it should work. Try the following:
snmpwalk localhost <commsting> 

You should see something like:

interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex.1 = 1
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex.2 = 2
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.1 = lo
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.2 = eth0
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1 = softwareLoopback(24)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = ethernetCsmacd(6)
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifMtu.1 = 16436
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifMtu.2 = 1500
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.1 = Gauge32: 10000000
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifSpeed.2 = Gauge32: 10000000


Where I have interfaces .1 (lo) and .2(eth0) you should see
.1(lo) - .10(eth0:8) or something like that. As long as there is
an entry for each interface, cfgmaker should pick them up. 
If you don't see that you may need to take a look at your 
snmpd.conf file - it might need to be modified, I'm not sure 
tho, I haven't tried polling alias'ed interfaces.
