[mrtg] Difference Between SNMP1 & SNMP2 cfg files

[Steve Shipway]

Yes, this is true.  I was only referring to differences in the configuration file; its worth remembering the effect of noHC[] on SNMPv2 targets though, which I forgot to mention.

In the file, yes.  But there is something else going on in the
background.  mrtg polls ifInOctets and ifOutOctets when using snmp v1 or
if the noHC[] directive is present, and ifHCInOctets and ifHCOutOctets
when using snmp v2 or v3 without the noHC[] directive
