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. #--------------------------------------------------------------- Target[imaginary-gw]: %23:public@10.10.10.10 MaxBytes[imaginary-gw]: 7000 Title[imaginary-gw]: Imaginary Corp.

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.
