Your syntax for cfgmaker is a bit off.

You need to do "cfgmaker <options> <device>"

So, 
perl cfgmaker --global "Workdir: F:\mrtg-2.16.2\bin" --global "Options[_]: growright,bits" --enablesnmpv3 --snmp-options=:::::3 --username="tfl_mrtg"  --authprotocol=sha --authpassword=tFl!nmpR0  --privprotocol=des --privpassword=N0pa!!01 10.224.255.249

but, as the error message says, you also need --contextengineid in there before the 10.24.255.249
