[mrtg] Re: clearing of counters on Cisco

[bwoodcoc]

Scott,

What version of mrtg are you running? I had an issue with failed polls 
producing
spikes. I also suspected that a counter roll-over could have produced a similar
result (but did not confirm). I have upgraded and the problem has been 
resolved.
We are currently at 2.9.22 . Although not the same exact scenario, it may have
relevance in your case also.

cheers,
brad...
