not possible. whether or not it's retrieving stats from localhost, it still needs SNMP to query the device. that's just the nature of MRTG. Plus, I wouldn't recommend putting it on the Firewall. Just leave it on the standalone machine where it is now. Plus, the FW needs SNMP by default. Why do you want to disable SNMP? -----Original Message----- From: Langa Kentane [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 8:52 AM To: 'Dan Guinn' Cc: Firewall-1 Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: RE: [FW1] Monitoring with MRTG I have used MRTG, running on Linux and monitoring my routers. What I want to know now is how is, someone suggested running it directly on the Nokia with IPSO 3.3. The person said that if you run it like this then it does not need to have snmp. Is this possible, if so, where are the howto on how to do it. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Guinn [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 09 January 2001 15:27 To: 'Langa Kentane'; Firewall-1 Mailing List (E-mail) Subject: RE: [FW1] Monitoring with MRTG MRTG is an awesome freeware tool....get it from http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/ It uses SNMP to populate a nice graphical chart showing your bandwidth used in an HTML page. The best thing to do is to install this on a separate box (runs VERY well on Linux), and have it pull SNMP info from your firewall. For examples of output, check out http://www.stat.ee.ethz.ch/mrtg/.

We need to monitor our Firewall. We are running IPSO 3.3, fw-1 4.1 sp2. We need to use a tool that will not need SNMP running on the firewall. Someone suggested to me that I install MRTG on the firewall itself. Can you please point me in the direction of the FAQ's for doing this. And also, please advice me on wether this is a good idea or not.
