[mrtg] Re: MRTG newbie number two :-)

[David Sawyer]

You could think of a MIB as a book and an OID (Object IDentifier) as a page
in the book.

You specify the Target[] parameter in MRTG to point to an OID to return the
value stored in it.

MIBs are not used in MRTG, I only use MIBs to find the OID number by using
GetIf or WhatsUp Gold (www.ipswitch.com)

http://www.wtcs.org/snmp4tpc/  is a good place to start learning about SNMP.
