[mrtg] ifInOctets but no ifOutOctets.... ever seen this?

[Gene Titus]

Hey Steve,

Thanks for the response.  Since you also have this problem, we won't pursue
the matter with Cisco as a bug. And again, I only see this problem on 2 of
our new switches, not the dozen+ older cisco switches we have. I'll just
Target the ifInOctets twice.

Even more strange, these switches don't have ifOutOctets entries but the do
have ifOutUcastPkts entries for unrouted vlans. And yes, ifOutUcastPkts =
ifInUcastPkts.

Regards,
Gene
