One thing that would take a major load off would be if my MRTG system could simply update its config/index files for itself, instead of me having to do it on each and every port change.
Is MRTG a requirement, or just some type of statistical monitoring? There are other packages that can do (or be made to do) what you want. I switched from MRTG to Cricket many years ago, and a big improvement there is that you configure interface names (and Cricket handles tracking the index). There are add-ons like genDevConfig (replaces genRtrConfig) that can auto-generate configs for you. The only downside to Cricket is that development has stagnated (I think it is a case of "it works for me" for most everybody using it). There's also Cacti, which is newer and more current. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
