Please note that I need an _instantaneous bandwidth_ monitor and not a
"number of bytes sent this month" usage monitor.

Anyone know a way to monitor the bandwidth usage of a DG384G? It doesn't
need to be in real time, that is I'm happy to read the figures off-line
later but I do want to see what bandwidth a video VoIP call consumes from my
ADSL line.

Thanks,
Paul DS.

I believe the DG834G supports SNMP so you could use something like PRTG:

Thanks for the links. I'll take a look.

No it does not! But Netgear have been working a lot on its software
recently (to add VPN) so people live in hope that they might also add
SNMP sometime!

Theer is a router status screen of current traffic and, as it is a Linux
based router, there is a debug mode (see Google) which can enable incoming
telnet into the router - when Linux commands like "ifconfig" will also show
traffic.

I believe you are WRONG. If anyone cares to say otherwise, please speak up.

Okay, I stand corrected. The one document I looked at in Google suggested
it did.

It does, try this link:-

I don't use it so I'm not sure how useful it is.

Ah, thanks for that. Will have to play with it later. PRTG can't detect
any MIBs on the router at the moment. Don't have time to investigate
further at the momemnt.

It's about as useful as a chocolate teapout. Enable SNMP, set the
community strings and you'll find that it doesn't work.

The iptables firewall in the router is blocking connections from the LAN
interface to 161/udp. If you enable debug mode then telnet to the
router you can alter the config (I think you have to delete the first
rule, but it is ages since I've done it so I could well be wrong) to
allow SNMP to work but the firewall reloads at midnight every day so you
then lose the changes you made.

I have just found the following setting in my router, but does nayone know
which bits need filling in for it to work?

SNMP Options

SNMP Enable/Disable

System Location: [What goes here?]
System Contact: [What goes here?]
Community: public [does this need changing?]

Trap Receiver 1 0.0.0.0 [what goes here?]
Trap Receiver 2 0.0.0.0 [what goes here?]
Trap Receiver 3 0.0.0.0 [what goes here?]


Thanks Josh

Unless something has changed with the latest firmware, that is just a
temporary work around. It'll work until midnight when the firewall
reloads and puts the original rules (including the one that blocks SNMP
on the LAN interface) back on.

SNMP Enable/Disable - pretty obvious really
System Location: Where is the router?
System Contact: Who manages the router?
Community: Think of it as a password. Unless you know the community
string you can't get any info out of the router using SNMP. Change it
to someting else.

Trap Receivers: The router can send information (traps) to a machine or
a number of machines that will do then do something the information
(generate reports and so on). The IP addresses of those machines would
go here.

Why on earth would the router reload? Is the code so crass/leaky that it
needs to reset itself nightly?

It is just the firewall that reloads (the iptables process is
restarted), not the entire router. But yes, I'd like to know why it
does that.
