I currently use MRTG to successfully monitor 73 switches/routers on our
network. I am trying to add monitors for 60 Cisco 350 wireless access points
using SNMP to graph the number of connected users. I cant see what Im doing
wrong and was wondering if anyone else had managed to get this working? I
found the following suggested config file on the Somis site....

Target[$CFGNAME]:
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0&1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0:$COMMUNITY@$IPADDRESS
MaxBytes[$CFGNAME]: $MAX
kMG[$CFGNAME]: ,M,,,
Options[$CFGNAME]: gauge, nopercent, absolute, unknaszero
YLegend[$CFGNAME]: Users Attached
ShortLegend[$CFGNAME]: Users Attached
WithPeak[$CFGNAME]: wmy
Colours[$CFGNAME]: GREEN#00eb0c,BLUE#0000ff,GRAY#AAAAAA,VIOLET#ff00ff
Legend1[$CFGNAME]: Number of Users Attached
Legend2[$CFGNAME]: .
Legend3[$CFGNAME]: Peak Number of Users Attached
Legend4[$CFGNAME]: .
LegendI[$CFGNAME]: Users:
LegendO[$CFGNAME]: .
Title[$CFGNAME]: $DEVICE
PageTop[$CFGNAME]: <H1>$DEVICE</H1>

Which I then edited to reflect our network settings

WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg/wireless
rkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg/wireless
Target[SNAP-WAT1-T3]:
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0&1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0:$admin@$SNAP-WAT1-T3
MaxBytes[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: 10000
kMG[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: ,M,,,
Options[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: gauge, nopercent, absolute, unknaszero
YLegend[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: Users Attached
ShortLegend[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: Users Attached

Colours[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: GREEN#00eb0c,BLUE#0000ff,GRAY#AAAAAA,VIOLET#ff00ff
Legend1[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: Number of Users Attached
Legend2[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: .
Legend3[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: Peak Number of Users Attached
Legend4[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: .
LegendI[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: Users:
LegendO[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: .
Title[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: $SNAP-WAT1-T3
PageTop[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: <H1>SNAP-WAT1-T3</H1>
Directory[SNAP-WAT1-T3]: wat1-t3

Which gives me the following error when I run MRTG, Im stumped, I don't know
where to look, googling has not helped, Im happy to read up, but could do
with a few pointers to point me in the right direction, as I don't
understand the error message, eg '::v4only' - I though SNMP had only 2
versions! If anyone who understands how this works can help I'd be very
grateful!!!
