Yes, his tone is cold. No, he will not answer related questions like how to get routing running and how to do BGP peering and the like...but he shines on getting that connection working and the protocol up and tested. I worked with him for about 5-10 minutes each of 2 times (one for Frame Relay, the other for PPP)...that was it...the rest was standard routing which I didn't know and then had to learn some of (need to know more). >------------- > >I try to use snmp to get information about the router traffic.

I can find via snmp the interface name, but there are no settings, like speed, bandwidth ... so that >it does not gather information. > Sure it does, plug in ucb-snmp on the Unix box and do cfgmaker from mrtg on public@ipaddress and away you will go...that's it. >Has anybody Etinc router cards (or other ones) in use with snmp ? > Yep. What's a General Manager doing playing with this stuff...shouldn't you be off managing and hire a techie to do this work? Take Care, Randy Katz
