I assume here you meant you edited the switch1.cfg and not router1.cfg?

To create a page I did Indexmaker like :

This  is the  wrong command.  What you told it to do here was take the
switchswitch1.html file and create the cfg file.
Try using this command:  indexmaker
--output=/var/www/html/mrtg/core/switch1.html
/var/www/html/mrtg/core/switch1.cfg

and it gives : ERROR: Line 8 ( WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg) in CFG file

Also, I am not sure of the security problems you may have with storing your
cfg files in the same directory as you html.  I would think this is not very
secure.  I usually make a directory called /etc/mrtg and store my cfg file
there.  Just FYI.

now i copied some stuff from mrtg.cfg to like runas daemon , HTML formating
