[mrtg] Re: Excluding IP's for monitoring

[Matt Walkowiak]

I don't think you can easily - the 3com switch is a Layer 2 switch (right?)
which has no clue about IP, which is layer 3.  Mrtg graphs numbers that it
gets - it doesn't know WHAT the numbers mean or where they came from.  So
you'd have to get the switch to ignore the numbers coming from that IP when
it creates the numbers to give to MRTG over SNMP, and unless the switch can
do it, no go.  That make sense?

Greetings,

I havent had a helpful answer for my question yet. Let me explain it in a
more detailed way.

I have a SNMP host (3COM Switch) wich I monitor with a FreeBSD server that
hosts MRTG. I would like to exclude a certain ip from generating traffic
on the mrtg graph. Eg: Graph all traffic except 192.168.0.0.
