Files Needed

On the router

netsnmpd.lrp
libm.lrp
libdb.lrp

On the mrtg server

perl

must be running on your server since large parts of mrtg are written in perl

mrtg

You can build it from source from: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/

OR, you can find an rpm and get on the air right away… http://www.rpmfind.net

Documentation Recommended

The following documentation tells you how to build mrtg, but also provides valuable configuration and start-up information: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/unix-guide.html

Information Needed

You must have the following information available:

  • IP address of interfaces on router you wish to monitor.

  • IP address of the server on which you will be running mrtg
