Hello, I have searched the archives and am sure this has been asked before, however I cannot come up with any information on this.
I have noted that when a unit for some reason is unresponsive/down to a SNMP request for reasons ranging from packet loss, link instability or a simple reboot, the following SNMP reply generates a very large peak of traffic that in fact was not present on the link, sometimes several megabits and several times faster than the link can accomodate. I understand the possibility of using AbsMax, however my old version (2.8.12) running on antiquated hardware/software did not do this, and the AbsMax is not 100% an effective solution in my case since that traffic did not really exist. I am unsure as to why this occurs, possibly because of a modification to accomodate 32-bit counter rollovers? In any case, is there a modification that can be made to log zero to a loopped counter instead of logging a huge bandwith spike? I am running RH9 with MRTG 2.9.17, and net-snmp 5.0.6.
