how to configure canopy unit for MRTG

Products PMP
1

Dear Friends,

Please help me to configure my 20 MB SM for MRTG. Its IP is 172.16.8.100/255.255.255.0

My server address is 172.16.8.254. Please let me know what changes I have to make in the SM so that I get SNMP response from it.

Looking forward for an early response…

Most important thing is to get the SNMP string correct, also you need to make sure that the BH/AP/SM allows you to access the it from the subnet you are on.

I will be more grateful if you kindly explain it in detail, as I dont know much about these commands…

thank you

The way i read your question indicates to me that you will have a steep learning curve. You might want to consider CactiEZ instead of MRTG until you become more familiar with SNMP

By default SM’s SNMP is enabled and the password is Canopy
try downloading PRTG…its really good SNMP based software…
with the free version u can just enable 3 sensor…but its a good start
There is a add sensor wizard will will guide…when u reach the DEVICE SELECTION option…under IP address type ur wireless device IP.eg SM and under SNMP community string type Canopy or wht ever snmp password u have set on the radio…click next…and ur ready to go…

Where do the MIB files go? in the workDir or the same dir as the config file?

Also, in the canopymibs folder, do I just copy the mibs in there from the 8.2.2-DES image i downloaded?

thanks mani

At present PRTG is giving good result. Right now I am working on MRTG. Hope will be able to do this too…
