[mrtg] Re: SNMP

I believe that means the device didn't return a value for the oid you
polled. From a unix box, can you do an snmpwalk on that value? Ie:

snmpwalk -c <read string> -v 1 <ip address> .1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.5.0

Subject: [mrtg] SNMP

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,,,

Legend4[$CFGNAME]: .
LegendI[$CFGNAME]: Users:

PageTop[$CFGNAME]: <H1>$DEVICE</H1>

Which I then edited to reflect our network settings

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!!!
