[mrtg] Re: dynamic interface issue

Fixed, matched by description, eg, 
==
Interface by Description
If you can not use IP addresses you might want to use the interface
names. This works similar to the IP address aproach except that the
prefix to use is a \ instead of a /
You can tell cfgmaker to generate such references with the option
--ifref=descr.

Thanks Daniel :)

Subject: [mrtg] dynamic interface issue

Hi all,

I have an issue with a few of our routers that I'm monitoring.
The interface is a virtual interface, pptp interface.
Every time the interface goes down and comes up the config generates
errors due to the interface changing numbers.
Target[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx_1630]: 315:public at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:
So basically I need to manually go in and change the number next to
public (315) to match the new interface number for it to work again.
The Routers I'm monitoring are Mikrotiks (not sure if this makes any
difference).

Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
