[mrtg] How to config to measure the broadband traffic ( 3 Static IP address range and 1 IP gateway ) ?

[Edward S.P. Leung]

Hello,

For point 1, how to enable the ADSL machine has SNMP function ?
For point 5, how can we config the command line ?
( there are 3 of fixed ip address and 1 of gateway Ip address about the
Broadband service.... )

Thanks !

Edward.

> 6.    You may like to use the MRTG script “indexmaker<http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/indexmaker.en.html>”

> 7.    Run MRTG <http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg.en.html> manually a
> couple of times to make sure there are no errors. Don’t forget to check that
> you can get to the pages on your website.
>
> 8.    Run MRTG as a service/daemon.  Refer to the MRTG docs<http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/index.en.html>on the best way to do this for your PC/Server (unix is easy, Windows

>
> 9.    You’re done.

> Note: if the PC/Server that is running MRTG goes down, then you’ll end up

> lose their SNMP settings when they are rebooted (like mine Netgear, grrrr)
