limit subinterfaces from discovery

Post by dswinford »

Our routers (Cisco 7609) are in places used as ATM agregation boxes. We may have 500 subinterfaces on each ATM interface. This in cases created over 6500 rows of interfaces to look through to determine which we would like to graph on. We only want to graph/report on the main Interface. Is there a way to exclude anything past the "." from being discovered? IE. ATM 1/2/3.456 We would only want to include the interface ATM 1/2/3.

If you *really* need the information, you might want to try to attack that from the snmp end of things. However, you would probably
need to perform snmp gets as opposed to the snmp walks that the xml files seem to indicate. As for the required OIDs, you could get an
idea of what you will need from: www.mibdepot.com.

I'm thinking that you will need some type of external script which will get too complicated far too quickly. I have done that before with
other packages, but haven't the foggiest idea of how to (correctly) pull it off in cacti. At best, you will probably be digging through table info
that you get back from the routers.

HTH.

This looks like you were working on some type of script to perform this, however, either the post did not take it all, or I am not understanding your post. Can you provide any help here?[/quote]
