It is possible to change the portnumber MRTG uses. From the reference.html:
------------------------------------ Extended Host Name Syntax In all places where [EMAIL PROTECTED]'' is accepted, you can add additional parameters for the SNMP communication using colon-separated suffixes. The full syntax is as follows: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[port][:[timeout][:[retries][:[backoff][:version]]]]] where the meaning of each parameter is as follows: port the UDP port under which to contact the SNMP agent (default: 161) . . . Example: Target[ezci]: 1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9161::4 This would refer to the input/output octet counters for the interface with ifIndex 1 on ezci-ether.ethz.ch, as known by the SNMP agent listening on UDP port 9161. The standard initial timeout (2.0 seconds) is used, but the number of retries is set to four. The backoff value is the default. -------------------------------------- Hth, Jan. -----Original Message----- From: nate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2003 4:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] Re: MRTG Technical Inquiry Jimmy Leong said: > HI > I have some technical inquiry for MRTG.

MRTG is not capable of speaking anything but SNMP from my experience. you can pipe stuff from other commands(I prefer netcat), but MRTG itself doesn't talk telnet. nate -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi Het ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid sluit elke aansprakelijkheid uit in verband met het niet juist, onvolledig of niet tijdig overkomen van de informatie in deze e-mail.
