Re: {bb} BB and MRTG

[Raed Nashef <nash_ra@eng.printronix.com>]

The problem with your configuration is that you are pointing all the ports to 
the same name 'frart1001.ac.com'. This is why you are getting reports on only 
one port.

You need to enter into the $BBHOME/etc/bb-hosts file all the ports you are 
monitoring on the router.  For example: I'm monitoring a 3com Netbuilder with 
Frame relay and 2 leased lines. This is how I set it up in the "mrtg" file:
	 my %mrtgfiletag =
	 	(
	    '192.168.10.10.2' => 'irv2sxn_leased' ,
            '192.168.10.10.3' => 'irv2hol-leased' ,
            '192.168.10.10.4' => 'netbuilder_FR'  , 
            '192.168.10.10.8' => 'irv-enet8'
            );
            
          
          And this is how it looks like in bb-hosts files:
          
          	
		group-compress <H3><I>3Com NetBuilder II </I></H3>
		192.168.10.10   irv-enet8
		0.0.0.0         irv2sxn-leased
		0.0.0.0         irv2hol-leased
		0.0.0.0         netbuilder-FR


The first name "192.168.10.10   irv-enet8" is the name of the router as defined 
in the DNS table. The rest of the names such as 'netbuilder_FR', you need to 
come up with to describe that certain port, and this is what gets displayed in 
BB for that port.

Hope this helps,
