Those are all good suggestions. Juniper (those with an IP II ASIC) also has the "FIREWALL-MIB" which can be used to monitor traffic that matches filter list rules. It would also be nice if popular FTP servers came with a small SNMP agent that would expose these statistics. That might be a good term project for a student or so. -- Simon. -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
