SNMP + DrayTek monitoring

xy16644 · #1 May 20th, 2011, 16:51

Currently I have a DrayTek 2820vn router that I would like to monitor. Having gone through the management options I noticed that it has some SNMP options:

Code:

 SNMP Setup 
  Enable SNMP Agent 
  Get Community  
  Set Community  
  Manager Host IP  
  Trap Community  
  Notification Host IP  
  Trap Timeout   seconds

What I was wondering is, can I use my FreeBSD server (which sits behind this router) to monitor and graph the activity on the router?

I'm not too familiar with SNMP so this is all quite new to me. I'd like to start with some obvious items to monitor like uptime and bandwidth usage. The router does have some basic built in graphs, unfortunately once you reboot it, all the history is lost.

What ports would help me achieve the above and can someone recommend a (basic) SNMP guide to get me going? Am I on the right path even with SNMP to achieve this?

Many thanks all
