[mrtg] Re: Cisco 7206 - 64 bit counter works on one interface, bu t not anoth er?

[Makai József]

In all places where ``community at router'' is accepted, you can add additional
parameters for the SNMP communication using colon-separated suffixes. The
full syntax is as follows: 
 community at router[:[port][:[timeout][:[retries][:[backoff][:version]]]]]
where the meaning of each parameter is as follows:

port

the UDP port under which to contact the SNMP agent (default: 161) 

timeout

initial timeout for SNMP queries, in seconds (default: 2.0) 

retries

number of times a timed-out request will be retried (default: 5) 

backoff

factor by which the timeout is multiplied on every retry (default: 1.0). 

version

for SNMP version if you have a fast router you might want to put a '2' here.
This will make mrtg try to poll the 64 bit counters. And thus prevent
excessive counter wrapping. Not all routers support this though. 
Example:

 3:public at router1:::::2
