Maybe, if you enable SNMPv2c or SNMPv3 for data collection.  Definitely
not if you're using the default SNMPV1.

Are you using the "--snmpv2c" option to genRtrConfig?

That value is (2 ^ 32) - 1.  You're clearly hitting a 32 bit counter limit.
I see Francois just posted an explanation of the problem with genRtrConfig
(use of the int() function, and perhaps other assumptions that ifSpeed or
other values in the MIB would not exceed 32 bits).

Even if you change rrd-max in the config file and recompile, it won't
affect the RRD file if it's already been created.  You'll need to delete
the RRD file and let Cricket re-create it.  Or see "man rrdtune" for
how to adjust the existing RRD file manually.

If that turns out to be the only problem with genRtrConfig, you might be
able to get around it by post-processing genRtrConfig's output with a script.
