[mrtg] Antw: Re: MRTG 2.14.7 and Cisco 6509

Hi Dan,
 
thanks a lot for this precious info. Looks that I have to change some serious words with my collegues who administrate the 6509's.

Wow, that's pretty old hybrid code.  In hybrid mode, you will get odd
results from the MSFC, due to packet offloading by the PFC.  Try polling
the switch supervisor instead.

Also, the MFSC2 is rapidly approaching end of life.  You may want to
bite the bullet and plan an upgrade to sup720 or sup32, hopefully at
least running native-mode, although I personally prefer modularity mode
(boots way faster).  I've not had any weirdness with SNMP on sup720's.
