[mrtg] Re: multiple switches

[Stieers, Ken]

Pat, 
 
If you just run "perl cfgmaker public at ipaddr" , cfgmaker just puts the
output to the screen. 
 
If you want it in a file you have to redirect it using the ">" , like this:
 
perl cfgmaker public at ipaddr > mrtg.cfg
 
Now, something to note:  this will create a new file and OVERWRITE the old
one!!!!  So, you have two choices, you can create a second file and
concatenate them with a file copy, ("copy mrtg.cfg+mrtg2.cfg allmrtg.cfg) or
in a text editor (ie. open both files, cut and paste together), or you can
have the output of cfgmaker be appeded to the end of the first one like
this:
 
perl cfgmaker public at ipaddr >> mrtg.cfg
 
You'll still have to edit the resulting cfg file because the required
settings like WORKDIR, etc, will be duplicated at the top of the new
section. 
 
 
HTH,

Subject: [mrtg] multiple switches


I have been successfully using MRTG for about 6 months now.  It works great!
What I have been doing is monitoring my snmp traffic on my switch.  I just
added another switch to my network.  It is daisy chained off of my original
existing switch.  I am able to ping and telnet to it's IP address.  If I run
cfgmaker the new switch is detected.  I can see the IP & channel numbers
scrolling by.  But the mrtg.cfg file is never created.  I tried removing the
old mrtg.cfg file thinking that it would not create it if it already saw one
there.  But that did not help either.  What I thought I would do is to
create the new mrtg.cfg file then read in a copy of the old file.  That way
I would be able to monitor all of my channels.  Is that the correct way to
do that?  
 
Thanks for any help.
