Yes and no. It will be the router interface number when this entry
is created by cfgmaker and it is a great help to keep track of all
entries in your config file. It does not have to be the interface
number per se, it can also be left out.

It is completely safe to change this into something else. Just make
sure to change it into something not already existing as the files
that are created by mrtg (the log files and the html files) will have
this as their base name. This means that you cannot have the same
target name for two targets in the same mrtg.cfg file, and also not
two same names in two different mrtg.cfg files when they point to
the same target directory.

Naturally you will have to change all lines for that target, not only
the Target[*] itself.

Target[blah]: 2:public@router

would be a valid target and it would create blah.log, blah.old,
blah-day.gif, blah-week.gif etcetera.
