This one should be at the top of the FAQ... if we had a FAQ, that is.  Prepare 
for several dozen replies giving you the answer...

When using a normal 16bit network counter, it will roll over within the 5min 
polling window if network throughput is over approx 130Mbps.  This causes the 
problems you are noticing.

Solution: Use SNMPv2 which has the 64bit HC counters.  Cfgmaker will handle 
these automatically if you tell it to use SNMPv2.

Either:
1) add :::::2 to the end of your Target definition to specify using SNMPv2, or
2) pass --snmp-options=':::::2' to cfgmaker to tell it to generate SNMPv2 
configuration files, or
3) Change polling interval to 1 minute (Interval: 1).  This will require you to 
delete your old .rrd files and change your polling frequency though so is 
probably more trouble than its worth.

This will solve your problem.
