I'm having a similar problem to John I think. I used MRTG about four years ago and didn't have problems mapping some lower entry cisco switches (standalone, single unit 48 port switches).
But now I have a 6509 switch with a single 48 port FastEthernet blade in it (plus the supervisor/gigabit engine). I have the blade's ports all segmented into Vlans other than the default (Vlan1). When I do a cfgmaker on this device the only "interfaces" that show up are the Vlans and of course they don't show any traffic utilization, as I understand Vlans don't count hardware switched packets and almost all of my traffic is, I guess, being hardware switched and therefore won't show up on the Vlan counters. I get the same behavoir even if I pass '--if-filter=($if_is_ethernet)' to cfgmaker. I would rather like to see port by port byte traffic counts anyways, rather than Vlan traffic. What did I do wrong? What do I have to do to get cfgmaker to generate the 48 FastEthernet 2/1-48 interfaces so that I may see byte counters for the actual ports?
