Hi Andrew


I am looking at your cfg file and don't understand what ******@fw is?
Below is what I am looking at and I am a little confused.

Thanks
Saul

Subject: [mrtg] FYI... update on Sonicwalls!!!

I've posted to this list quite a few times regarding my struggles 
getting stats out of my Sonicwall Pro 100. I thought I'd post some good 
news.

I got the SW MIBs (http://nccomp.com/sysadmin.html) and set up MRTG. It 
so happens I also set up MRTG on my Cisco routers and some other 
equipment at the same time. All worked but the SW. Since everyone else 
on the list also said they got nothing... I just left it alone.

Thanks to a post from someone last week, I found out about firmware 
6.4.2.0. There are notes on the SW site saying it fixes some SNMP stuff 
relating to the interfaces. Unfortunately, SW has a new policy starting 
with firmware 6.4.x.x. You must now have a valid support contract to get

new firmwares. (My company has threatened with a lawsuit for this since 
a newer firmware indicates a faulty product, and thus false advertising 
among other things... specifically regarding SNMP... but enough about 
this). My lawsuit threat was enough to get them to email me the latest 
firmware without a support contract. (available at 
http://nccomp.com/sysadmin.html).

I just installed the new firmware, rebooted my firewall, and low & 
behold... 20 minutes later... my graphs are starting to populate data. I

have posted the firmware, MIBs, and my mrtg .cfg on my website at 
http://nccomp.com/sysadmin.html . Feel free to download them as you 
like. At this point though, please be aware that I have NOT tested the 
trapping capabilities.

For those of you that may be new to MRTG and/or SNMP and look at my .cfg

as a reference, please note that I have changed all the valid domain & 
IP entries to ****** and spoofed stuff like email addresses, etc as a 
security precaution. Remember to change your's to match your environment

rather than try to mirror mine.
