[mrtg] System Requirements

[Warren Weber]

Folks,

I have convinced my immediate management of the need of an MRTG system. 
  I am looking at tapping the collective knowledge of the community so I 
can size my system properly (allowing room for growth, etc.).  My 
immediate requirements are to monitor four Cisco 2900XLs (24 ports), one 
Cisco 2950 (24 ports), and six Brocade Silkworm 2800s (16 ports) -- a 
total of 264 ports.  I may have other switches to monitor down the line 
as well as a few servers (Win2k, NT and Solaris).

I am planning on using a PC with Linux on it (probably a recycled 
desktop or a retiring server unless I can justify more).  What is 
everyone using out there -- CPU, memory, disk?  Are there rules of thumb 
relating the number of ports monitored to disk and memory?

Replies either to the list or direct to me are fine.  If there is 
interest, I'll be happy to summarize the responses to the list.

Thanks!
Warren
