[mrtg] 64-bit counters with SNMPv1?

[Forthofer Russ]

Thanks for the input, Amos.  Yes, I did check the Nortel site and came
to the same link you pointed out.  Unfortunately, I was not able to find
any references to SNMP (other than SNMP traps) in these documents.  I
have contacted our Nortel engineer for further followup on this, but I
was hoping it was possible to instruct MRTG to grab the 64-bit counters
using SNMP v1.

Have you tried to dig Nortetl's web site to confirm this? I'm not an
expert but my gut feeling is that anything released in the last decade
that already supports SNMP should support version 2c or above.

Here is a link to get you started:

http://www130.nortelnetworks.com/go/main.jsp?cscat=DOCUMENTATION&poid=89

I can't actually download the documents from this page because I don't
have Nortel account but you should be able to. (and if not - where are
the manuals which arrived with the box?).

Cheers,
