Hi,

This is also documented upstream at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1033342&group_id=12694&atid=112694
and
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=465161&group_id=12694&atid=112694.

To eliminate the ipRouteTable at startup, add "-I -var_route" to your command line arguments
in /etc/default/snmpd and poll ipCidrRouteTable or inetCidrRouteTable instead.

Thanks,
Jochen
