[mrtg] Re: What am I doing wrong here?

[Roth, Gabrielle]

There's a clue in the error message:
>   error status: noSuchName

snmpget is telling you that the OID on your target line doesn't exist.  Keep
in mind that snmpwalk and snmpget work a little differently--you can start
anywhere in a mib with snmpwalk, but you must use a single, specific OID
with snmpget.  mrtg uses snmpget, and therefore needs specific OIDs.

You are using these OIDs on your target line:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.1.13
.1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.1.1.14

Compare this to the results you get from snmpwalk:
enterprises.11.2.3.1.1.13.0
enterprises.11.2.3.1.1.14.0
...these are the more 'specific' OIDs required by snmpget.

You need to add a .0 to the end of both your OIDs.

You also need to remove the leading ., mrtg doesn't need it.
