[mrtg] FW: MIB query (re HP/Nortel Blade switches )...

[Sean Cheesman]

Did you run cfgmaker with the --ifref=name option?  I didn't see it in Steve's template, and was wondering where it came from.  If all of your "interface names" are the same it will not create the interface because it cannot uniquely identify them for data collection purposes.  If I recall one of your previous emails, the problem was that the HP switch returned blank for the name.

If I missed something else obvious, I apologize...

Hi Steve
Not sure if I ran it right but used cfgmaker with the –if-template option and the output in the config file was like the following. All the interfaces in the output config file were commented out. Any ideas?
