I think it's more for allowing ntop to provide status via SNMP (i.e. as an agent) than using snmp to collect info from remote machines. There's really no way to use SNMP to gather the info ntop needs. All you can get from snmp is network utilization, where ntop wants to see raw packets (or at minimum, ip+port+size data per flow). -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You don't. If you wish to use SNMP to monitor traffic voumes, etc., you'll need to use something like mrtg, cacti or nagios. ntop doesn't know or care about SNMP, any more than does, say, tcpdump or WireShark.
