interface list change - problem with snmp

Hi,

I'm using PRTG to monitor the Astaro/Sophos UTM with snmp.
I have a problem with monitoring the interfaces because the interface list
is changing when a new interface is configured!
For example: eth5 has interface number 7, I configure a new interface on eth6, after that eth5 has interface number 9 or something else.

So the snmp monitoring use the interface numbers and these numbers change sometimes. That mean my monitoring displays wrong information.

Is it possible to change that behavior so that new interfaces get at the ende of the list?

Hi b.schmidt,

just have a look on the shell in this list:
edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Can you post this output.
I can imagine, that it is enough to correct the NAME an reboot the UTM.

Nice greetings

Hi GuyFawkes,

in this file are only the hardware interfaces listed without the interface number!
I have a lot of VLAN interfaces and reds etc. witch are not in this file.

So this file won't help in my case because I need the interface number in the SNMP OID string. And when the numer changes my SNMP checks go wrong.
