[mrtg] Re: Number of Ips

[michael smith]

Thanks for your  reply .
For clarification , I need a tool that count the Number of active IPs for all over the network " dialup and Leased lines" , and graph them .
Thanks in advance

Per interface, you'll want to calculate it from the network mask applied
to the interface for available IPs directly connected. However, the total
amount of IPs that can be routed to an interface is a whole different
animal, and can be either static or dynamic. For the number of directly
connected IPs, take the ones' complement of the netmask in binary, subtract
three*, and that's the number of hosts. As to how many of them are actually
in use, that's a bit tougher. The OID for IP subnet mask or network mask
is what you want. Unnumbered interfaces, NAT, etc. can give unreliable or
wrong results.

Per router? That's a whole different animal, and if you have a default
route it could be, well... rather large.

I don't see how MRTG would come in to play here.

Tell us what the problem is that you're trying to solve with this question
and there is a good chance someone here has done it, though I suspect maybe
not using MRTG. Netmask changes on router interfaces aren't normally the
type of thing one needs to graph every five minutes. :-)

* one for the network all-zeros address, one for the broadcast all-ones,
and one for the interface itself = three.
