[mrtg] Re: Using SNMP v2 - WorkAround

[Peter Glanville]

Wierd!
The obvious way fails:
Target[gig]: 1:public at 172.16.32.3:::::2

But both of the following work!!!!!!
Target[gig]:
.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.6.1&.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.10.1:public at 172.16.32.3
Target[gig]: ifHCInOctets.1&ifHCOutOctets.1:public at 172.16.32.3

I cannot be bothered to try to figure out why, I've got a solution that
works.

Thanks Jozsef
