Hi,
What I'm trying to obtain is to get all the data I could get with mrtg if
it was installed on the router/firewall locally. i.e. I have a DMZ-located
server which I want to generate the graphs for various data retrieved by
means of udc-snmp from the router/firewall. What I need to start is a
simplest (not neccessarily safest) config of the router/firewall
snmpd.conf and whatever conf I need on either of them. This stuff seems to
be powerfull thus quite complicated for a neebie like me I was
wondering if anyone could help me at least pointing to a good link with
such informations/examples. thnx in advance

Add the package, add this to rc.local...

# Start snmpd
if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/snmpd ]; then
/usr/local/sbin/snmpd && echo -n ' snmpd'
fi


Modify /usr/local/share/snmp/snmpd.conf to be something like...

syslocation host.domain.com
syscontact you@domain.com
sysservices 79
rocommunity public
agentuser root
agentgroup wheel
agentaddress 161

That gets it running. I know there are resources at onlamp. Start
here...

Next step is MRTG...

HTH,
