Hi All,

I'm here stuck for a solution to total bandwidth monitoring on our
network (VPN link + ADSL too).

The problem is the SNMP is always disable and I need a tool to use on
this environment without SNMP.

Cacti seems to be cannot use without SNMP and same as MRTG i guess.
(Tried but not got correctly)

Can any one help me out this..
I really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.

maybe you could try sflow. If you device of switch support it, the
sflow will send udp sampling rate to certain destination ip and port
and you could use in-mon or other application to monitor you traffic.

You can use MRTG without SNMP, you just need a script that returns the
values as follows:
1st value - incoming bytes
2nd value - outcoming bytes
3rd value - uptime of a target [OPTIONAL]
4th value - name of a target [OPTIONAL]

You can obtain network traffic values from /proc/net/dev.

greetings,

hans
