[mrtg] Re: MRTG MAC Monitoring

[Barber, Erik A.]

One possibility would be to not monitor the AP, but monitor each of the endpoints, assuming that they are snmp capable.  This would probably only work well if all the devices were always on.

Hi Ryan.

The short answer: Probably not.

The most snmp agent implementations does have counters for the interface but
not "sub interfaces". There are such implementations in for example heavy
switches/routers with large interface where you trunk several customers over
VLAn or ATM circuits.

What type of equipment do you have AP-500, is it cisco or ?


Kind regards
Mats
