Hi all, I'm trying to use MRTG to monitor a dynamic adsl ppp connexion on a Fedora Core 5 box with net-snmp-5.3-4.2. The connexion is interrupted every other day by the provider and init restarts it automatically thanks to this line in /etc/inittab: pd:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd call adsl Now the problem is that the old instances of the interface are not cleared from the IF-MIB tree, so multiple instances appear and this confuses mrtg: >linux#snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex.127.0.0.1 = INTEGER: 1 IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex.172.24.39.249 = INTEGER: 2 IP-MIB::ipAdEntIfIndex.196.206.94.10 = INTEGER: 8 but >linux#snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost IF-MIB::ifDescr IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: lo IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: eth0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: sit0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.7 = STRING: ppp0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.8 = STRING: ppp0 Things go back to normal after snmpd is restarted: linux#service snmpd restart Stopping snmpd: [ OK ] Starting snmpd: [ OK ] linux#snmpwalk -v 2c -c public localhost IF-MIB::ifDescr IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: lo IF-MIB::ifDescr.2 = STRING: eth0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.3 = STRING: sit0 IF-MIB::ifDescr.8 = STRING: ppp0 Is this a bug ? Is there a way to have snmpd update the MIB on the fly ?
