Hi all

I install snmp NET-SNMP version 5.4.1 in fedora 7

when I run mrtg to make .cfg file before. i saw the eth7 is in localhost_5

after rebooting, the eth7 is changed in localhost_2 
but I don't have any hardwares and NIC configuration 

it seems snmp recognizes the NIC7 was localhost_5 before
then snmp recognizes the NIC7 is localhost_2 now


why does it happen?

Thank you
