[Devmon] [hobbit] Monitoring Cisco routers

I get random errors like that myself...

The only thing we could attribute to was the switch was overloaded and 
didnt respond fast enough to that snmpwalk.

They only thing I can say is to take the oid's out of the oid files and 
manually do a snmpwalk/get on them to verify that they work for that 
CAT-OS-IMAGE .

We have found that different CAT-OS-IMAGE's respond to some OID's and 
not others...

sorry, michael
