Re: SNMP hammering machine HELP! :(

[Gabriel Granger <gabe@bdmedia.co.uk>]

Hi Steve,

I guess i should have said that when talking to devices like my  
switches over snmp there is not hammering its only where i have snmpd  
installed on my machine to so that mrtg can grab information from the  
system, and not from devices no my network.  both MRTG and snmpd are on  
the local machine.

LRRD hmmm what's that? I'll take a look maybe that will solve my issues?

	- Regards -
