There is no need to clobber the entire ifTable. Simply register a row
for each port. You'll need to register each object in each row individually,
which is a bit of a pain, but that's the only real problem. I don't know if
there are helpers for this. I would recommend using very large numbers for
your ifIndex to keep clear of those generated by the MIB module.
Hopefully, the ifTable implementation has a way to cooperatively add
your own rows, but I've never examined it. Anyone?
Thanks,
Mike
