Here is what I did since the --no-down didn't help me ( older Cisco gear )
I'm using a Linux based system. I do this to add those interfaces back to the monitored state. ( NOTE THAT I HAND TYPED THIS SO MY SPACING MAY BE OFF.. ALSO YMMV ) sed 's/# Target/Target/' sed 's/# SetEnv/SetEnv/' sed 's/# Direc/Direc/' sed 's/# MaxB/Maxb/' sed 's/# Title/Title/' sed 's/# PageTop/Pagetop/' sed 's/# <TAB/ <TAB/' sed 's/# <TR>/ <TR>/' sed 's/# </TAB/ </TAB>' This will remove the # from the lines only. There are still other things to do as well depending on what your configuration has put for its values. On my Cisco gear, I had to search and replace the MaxB value ( it has 0, I hard set to 100Mb ) I also have to fix the BW in the Description field as well. I created several scripts that all of the MRTG admins use to add devices. I generate a generic file, run that file through those sed statements, then after the cleanup is finished append this file to the running file and restart the mrtg process. If you have a Windows based system, I would imagine you could use a find and replace in notepad, but I haven't done that so I cant be sure that would work. As always, test on a backup of the config to see if it is giving you the results that you want....

My coworkers added a few switches while I was gone, but didn't use the "--no-down" flag; is there any way to edit the config file to make the change, or will we have to do them all over again? ---------- Aaron Conaway Network Engineer III Verisign, Inc. -- Telecom Services Division http://www.verisign.com Office: 912.527.4343 Fax: 912.527.4014 -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
