I think that someone at Cisco wanted to make CEF switching statistics
in terms off packet-counts, drops and whatnot available via SNMP access
and figured that the interface MIB was a template for doing this, plus
the ATM guys had already blazed a trail with different but related
logical counters showing up as different pseudo-sub-interfaces.
If you're using MRTG or some similar tool to pull configs and want
these to go away, there's a section of code that looks at the interface
and tries to decide if it has real byte counts worth graphing, based
on the speed and type - you just need to modify this to ignore type 162
interfaces. 8-(
somthing like:
cfgmaker:
if (($sifadminstatus{$index} != 1)
|| ($siftype{$index} == 24)
+ || ($siftype{$index} == 162)
|| ($speed == 0 )
|| ($speed > 400 * 10**6) #speeds of 400 MByte/s are not realistic
|| ($sifoperstatus{$index} == 3)) {
print <<ECHO;
