Also how difficuilt is it to it in the units.
Not sure what this means....
But for the rest, check the Network Monitoring Tools threads...

There a number of suggestions including MRTG, Cacti and JFTFOI.

Sorry for the vagueness. How difficult is it to set up the snmp monitoring in the individual AP’s and backhauls. I tried just from the web interface using PRTG grapher and had no luck.
Hmmm… I’ve never had a problem. Just set up the community string, and if desired, the accessing subnet. Assuming you’re just collecting traffic stats you can leave them set for read only as well.

depending on tools can be easy a little more involved…
mrtg/prtg cacti you need to do some configuration…
intermapper, netmanager will allow you to do a discover automatically and start polling the mibs, need to be careful on this, can bring your network down by the volume of packets…
I would recommend…
