IFTABLE_CACHE_TIMEOUT control how frequent update ifTable counter.
Net-SNMP v5.4,v5.5 IFTABLE_CACHE_TIMEOUT 15
Net-SNMP v5.6,v5.7 IFTABLE_CACHE_TIMEOUT 3
Newer version have shorter cache timeout, but if you want to monitor real-time traffic by second, 3 seconds still useless.

To change this value

Method 1:
snmpset -v2c -cpublic localhost .1.3.6.1.4.1.8072.1.5.3.1.2.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2 i 1 # after snmpd start
Note: use override to set the value does NOT work.

echo mibs +KEEPALIVED-MIB >> /etc/snmp/snmp.conf # load KEEPALIVED-MIB, the file must in /usr/share/snmp/mibs

snmpwalk -v2c -cpuclic localhost KEEPALIVED-MIB:vrrp
