A few words on SNMP: SNMP is not a program, a utility, a server, or anything of the sort. SNMP is a communication protocol, like TCP, ICMP, FTP, UDP, SMTP and more. SNMP is the communication protocol that MRTG uses to communicate with the device(s) that it is monitoring. Therefore, SNMP is absolutely critical for MRTG to be of any use to anyone. To ask if SNMP is needed to use MRTG is akin to asking if TCP is needed to browse the Internet.
