[mrtg] Re: Must Switch have an IP address?

[Perticati Luca]

Well, with Cisco Catalyst you should create a cluster assigning an IP
address to the command switch only and configuring SNMP on it. Then, when
you add other switches to the cluster, they will be able to answer to SNMP
queries via the command switch. For example, if the command switch's SNMP
community is public, the first member switch will have public at es1, the
second public at es2 and so on; then you could simply query the command switch
with the appropriate community relative to one of the member switches.

Subject: [mrtg] Must Switch have an IP address?



I am reading though the new MRTG stuff (version 2.8.12 did not have this), 
and I'm seeing that you can run cfgmaker with --ifref=eth.

I am wondering if there is any way under the sun I can get away with not 
assigning my switch an IP address, but yet still allowing MRTG to monitor 
its traffic?  Is that possible at all?  If so, how?

Thanks in advance,

Wes
