You can avoid the problem by not using some other character
than the interface number to refer to each interface in your
configuration. Options include the interface name (ifName),
description (ifDescr), or even the IPaddress.
The MRTG Reference has this to say:
Interface by Name
This is the only sensible way to reference the interfaces of
your switches.
You can tell cfgmaker to generate such references with the
option --ifref=name.
MRTG can then find the right index number each time it polls
the device.
