[WORKAROUND] mrtg - network interface changed it's index. How to MANUALLY change it in MRTG?
Network interface on my router has (somehow) automatically changed ifIndex from 11 to 19
Code:
snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.1.1 ifIndex
IF-MIB::ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
IF-MIB::ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
IF-MIB::ifIndex.3 = INTEGER: 3
IF-MIB::ifIndex.4 = INTEGER: 4
IF-MIB::ifIndex.5 = INTEGER: 5
IF-MIB::ifIndex.6 = INTEGER: 6
IF-MIB::ifIndex.7 = INTEGER: 7
IF-MIB::ifIndex.9 = INTEGER: 9
IF-MIB::ifIndex.10 = INTEGER: 10
IF-MIB::ifIndex.19 = INTEGER: 19 <-- that was 11 when I generated mrtg.chg on April 2023
On the mrtg.log I can see it happened on: 2023-08-10 11:55:06
Code:

In mrtg.cfg I can see that previously this interface index was: 11
Code:
...
### Interface 11 >> Descr: 'wlan0' | Name: 'wlan0' | Ip: 'No Ip' | Eth: 'No Ethernet Id' ###
...
Question: how can I tell MRTG to look now on ifIndex = 19 instead of 11?
The easiest would be to re-generate mrtg.cfg with cfgmaker.
But there MUST be way to manually change that (and it is nowhere in mrtg.cfg) |
