forced ppp reconnect creates multiple entries for ppp0 interface

I'm using net-snmp 5.2.1.2 on Debian Sarge, to get traffic statistics into the current version of Cacti. The Linux box handles my ppp connection (pppoe, ADSL). My ISP reconnects me every 24 h and rppppoe reconnects immediately, but Cacti stops recording data. After some searching I found that every reconnect creates an additional entry for ppp0 in the snmp table: # snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 IF-MIB::ifName.1 = STRING: lo IF-MIB::ifName.2 = STRING: eth0 IF-MIB::ifName.3 = STRING: eth1 IF-MIB::ifName.4 = STRING: sit0 IF-MIB::ifName.8 = STRING: ppp0 IF-MIB::ifName.11 = STRING: ppp0 The interfaces are correctly marked up and down: # snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.8 IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.8 = INTEGER: down(2) # snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8.11 IF-MIB::ifOperStatus.11 = INTEGER: up(1) As I have to reconnect every day, the table fills up. As a workaround I restart snmpd after the reconnect. This cleans the table and cacti finds the correct ppp0 device to record data from. I wonder, is this bug or a feature? -- Highspeed-Freiheit.
