None of the below is correct. They fixed the problem of Ascend Pipeline
(and other vendors) using wandering wan interfaces in a release of mrtg
quite some time ago (close to two years). If you go to mrtg's site you can
find all the answers to your problem (as opposed to a freebsd list), but
I've also included an example from a config file below. This is
representative of config files I have monitoring over a hundred p130's,
p50's, etc, etc. The %23 is what tells mrtg to walk the ascend's
interface list until it finds the wan interface. Reboot your router all
you want, it finds it every time.

If you set MRTG up to monitor a WAN interface on the pipeline, give it up
now. If the WAN connection goes down, the pipeline will use a new WAN IF
when it comes back up.
The best you can do, is monitor interface 1 or 2 (I forget which is the
ethernet), which won't ever change.
G'luck,

**
**
** Anyone have an idea as to why MRTG might be returning zeros under the
** following:
**
** FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE
** mrtg-2.9.11
** Ascend Pipeline 130 (software version 5.0A+) router
**
** The MRTG faq says that this might be because mrtg is getting no response
** from the router, however it can obtain other information from it
** (location, etc).
**
** Any ideas might be helpful.
**
** Peace,
** Blake
