[mrtg] Re: What is the IP of generating hosts?

[Jim Bennett]

Peter,

Thanks for your help.  I inherited this from someone that left the organization, so I am really dumb about all this.  I traced the mrtg.cfg file down to this interface and sure enough the title is hard coded in the file.  Therefore the index number is referred to the port that is coded in the cfg file.  See below.  What would be a way to code it, so when viewing the graph, it would be very clear what port you are looking at?

Thanks,
Jim

Jim,

    'sc0' is the supervisor card in the device.  If you continue down the
config file you will see ifIndex 64 assigned to the port that Fluke sees and
that Cisco Switch reports.

    You are mixing apples and oranges here. The IP address is NOT assigned
to the port. It is assigned to the VLAN (VLAN1 by default).  That switch
would happily go about it's business of being a layer 2 device even without
an IP address on it.  IP addresses are only valid at layer 3 and above.

Regards,
Pete
