[mrtg] Re: using other port numbers other then 161 udp

[Stieers, Ken]

Adrian, 

It would behoove you to look at the config.html file and look at the section
titled Target, specifically this section:


In all places where ``community at router'' is accepted, you can add additional
parameters for the SNMP communication using colon-separated suffixes. The
full syntax is as follows: 

 community at router[:port[:timeout[:retries[:backoff]]]]

where the meaning of each parameter is as follows: 


port 
the UDP port under which to contact the SNMP agent (default: 161) 

timeout 
initial timeout for SNMP queries, in seconds (default: 2.0) 

retries 
number of times a timed-out request will be retried (default: 5) 

backoff 
factor by which the timeout is multiplied on every retry (default: 1.0). 

A value that equals the default value can be omitted. Trailing colons can be
omitted, too. 
Example: 


  Target[ezci]: 1:public at ezci-ether.ethz.ch:9161::4

This would refer to the input/output octet counters for the interface with
ifIndex 1 on ezci-ether.ethz.ch, as known by the SNMP agent listening on UDP
port 9161. The standard initial timeout (2.0 seconds) is used, but the
number of retries is set to four. The backoff value is the default.
