[mrtg] Re: Linux or Cable Modem ?

[Daniel R . Kilbourne]

If your cable modem is snmp manageable (pretty unlikely) then you can directly query it for stats.

If you are using a linux firewall, though, the easiest way to get stats is to query that.

I have basic instructions available for monitoring linux stuff at http://netophilia.net - look at the oids and oids+mrtg sections.

It is also possible (if you are using ipchains/iptables) to monitor per protocol bandwidth - pretty nice to see. Feel free to contact me offlist if you need help with that.



Good luck.

For thos that have used linux 7.0, how do you edit the snmp.conf file, so that you can allow mrtg to make a graph.  any help will be appreciated
