#Mrtg-dynip is a contribution to MRTG, enabling MRTG to generate multi
#interface traffic graphs for IP interfaces on hosts that do not provide
#consistent SNMP target numbers for their interfaces.  Such IP interfaces
#include IP active serial interfaces attached to modems in a PPP dial in
#environment. The hosts must run snmp agents.  For completeness, information
#about interface devices with unvarying SNMP target numbers, such as
#ethernet cards, can be configured to be included.

#Mrtg-dynip's configuration is simplest where static (or fixed) IP is not
#used for dial into a rotary modem pool.

#Mrtg-dynip can be considred to have sophisticated modem bank monitoring
#capacity, when the modems carry PPP or SLIP traffic.

#Regenerates a named 'mrtg.cfg' file to ensure snmp data remains with a
#consistent IP number, or overridable IP number of a real physical device
#in a dial in IP environment, rather than with an interface name which
#can get assinged to different real physical devices, and runs mrtg on
#the generated file.

#Generates a web index file of stats web pages. 

#Please see the section 6 of the FAQ for this version for information on
#for differences in interpreting graphs between some devices

#Briefly, to someone dialling in, dynamic IP means when they dial a rotary 
#number they do not get a consistent IP address. To the service provider it 
#means a unique IP number is assinged to each telephone line/modem/port.

#To someone dialling in, static or fixed IP means that their user name is
#approved to use a unique IP address, whether they dial into a rotary for
#a modem bank or into a non rotary number.  To the service provider, it means
#if someone is dialling into a rotary for a modem pool, they allow the modem
#port use a unique approved IP number for that user, that overrides the IP
#address used when a dial in user does not request a fixed or static IP.

#The public community should be used, however the public community on a
#particular host does not need to be named 'public'.  This is catered for.

#There is a large 'TODO' list for this contribution, including 
#testing use of the 'ifLastChange' snmp object.

#Ensure mrtg-dynip has executable permission.  See below as to where
#mrtg-dynip may need to be installed.

#Place a crontab entry, consistent with update time, similar to
#0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * *  <next line continued here>

#
#Redirecting standard output and error to a log file with an indication
#of time from 'date' is valuable for sorting out errors and preventing
#messages from being emailed to the root account.
#
#If Perl5 snmp modules are not installed in standard libraries and 
#the internal 'walk' is being used, then it is necessary to ensure
#mrtg-dynip in installed in, and run from, a directory where the modules
#are, typically the same directory the mrtg executable is in. 

#The most difficult part in a dynamic IP environment may be choosing the IP
#addresses to use for the scaler constant $interfaces, as you must ensure
#the IP address used will always correspond to the physical interface
#device, unless exception facility configured in.

#For Internet Service Providers running ppp dial in lines, the choice will
#be clear.  The IP addressess to use will be the 'remote' IP part of the
#command line options for the real physical device (:remote_ip in
#/etc/ppp/options.ttyXY file), unless static or fixed IP is allowed to
#override this.  For dial out lines that can get a variable 'remote' IP, you
#should be able to control what remote IP you get, no matter who you dial
#into and what remote IP they may offer you, by configuring a remote IP as
#for a dial in line above.

#If the final negotiated ppp address pair as seen by your machine,
#local_ip:remote_ip, is equal to a_ip:b_ip, then the local_ip:remote_ip as
#seen by the other machine is b_ip:a_ip. Since the remote IP seen by your
#side of the line is the local IP as seen and negotiated by the machine on
#the other side of the line, you can choose whatever remote IP address suits
#your side of the connection.  Specifying a 'remote' IP other than 0.0.0.0
#will, by default with pppd, result in an IP the other machine will have to
#accept as their local to succesfully negotiate a connection.  However it is
#two way: the other machine can do the same to you for its corresponding
#'remote' IP.  Hence mrtg-dynip can work on both machines.

#Please note: If you have interface devices which register ppp10 or 
#above, your snmp daemon may not supply information.  This is not due 
#to a bug in mrtg, the snmp modules or this mrtg-dynip.

######## Set this, 15
#If you haVe set option 13 above then you need to ensure
#an external program provides required information from whatever
#hosts you indicate in 16 are ports that can have their preferred
#IP overridden.  
#
#For UNIX style localhosts the following lines can be inserted in
#/etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/ppp/ipdown.  Following a reboot stale
#files should be removed automatically by startup, lest the machine
#crashed.  For hosts other than the host upon which this script is 
#running, ip-up and ip-down will need to be modified to ensure the 
#information goes to /var/run of appropriate host.  This can be done 
#using remote shell or other mechanisms, such as remote copy, nfs, 
#auto processed email and special client/server networking.
#
#It is vital the 'host_name' for writing to /var/run/, as indicated in
#/var/run/mrtg-dynip.host_name~~ttyXY, matches exactly the equivalent
#host name in mrtg-dynip. This 'host_name' may be a single name, 
#a dotted name or a dotted numeric IP address.
#
#/etc/ppp/ip-up for a localhost running a bash shell can include
#
#tty_name="$2"
#IP_remote="$5"
#/bin/echo $IP_remote > /var/run/mrtg-dynip.localhost~~${tty_name##/*/}
#
#The name of the file must exactly matched that sought for.  
#
#/etc/ppp/ip-down for a localhost running a bash shell can include
#
#tty_name=$2
#/bin/rm -f /var/run/mrtg-dynip.localhost~~${tty_name##/*/}

######## Set this, 16
#A pair of lines between blank lines represents an interface on a 
#particular host.  
#
#You can comment out a single pair of lines with a '#' or any non digit
#(except whitespace) as the first character of a pair of lines.
#
#The first line has the following format
#'n' 'IP-addr' 'if-speed' 'snmp host' 'snmp community'
#
#The second line has the following format
#	'Any free text description of interface'
# 
#The items must not be enclosed by '"' or '''.  Plese see example
#below before reading any further. Any whitespace or combination
#of whitespace (tabs or spaces) can seperate the items. However it
#is important the two lines with 'END_OF_INTERFACES' end without
#whitespace. 
#
#'n' is place this entry is to appear in the index of interfaces web file.
#The number of digits should be the same for each interface, for example
#use sequence 000 010 020 for successive numbers. You can temporarily
#take an interface out of consideration by placing any non digit 
#(except whitespace) before these digits, for example replace 010 
#by N010 or #010
#
#'IP-addr' is a consistent IP address of a physical interface. Exceptions
#can be catered for.  If you allow fixed (or static) IP into the physical
#interface to override, then you can ensure the line is still marked active
#in addition to the static IP entry being marked active.  To ensure this
#occurs, append '~~ttyXY' to the IP address where ttyXY is the value
#returned by ${tty_name##/*/} for the phyical device (or port) as indicated
#in section 15.  To keep a value in place, even if the port is not part of
#an IP overridable rotary pool, append a '~' to the end, such that complete
#appendage to the IP address is now '~~ttyXY~'.  You can keep the appendages
#even if you turn off, or do nor use, $use_non_dyn_IP_for_tty.
#
#'if-speed' is the interface speed in integer bits/sec. K and M multipliers
#for Kb/s and Mb/s can be used (see example). If you want to use decimal
#values then rewrite with a lower multiplier, for example write 
#33.3K as  34099 (integer portion of 33.3 multiplied by 1024).
#
#'snmp host' is a common and consistent DNS name, or IP address, for
#interfaces that belong to a particular machine.  For efficiency of snmp
#agent use it is better all interfaces that belong to a particular machine
#use a consistent name.
#
#'snmp community' is the community name of the 'public' community
#for an interface (the public community does not have to be named 
#'public').  This value does not have to be set: if this value is 
#not set then the value of $community_default is used instead.
#
#'Any free text description of the interface ' on the second line
#is as indicated.  It need not begin with whitepace (tabs or spaces).
#
#For dynamic IP interfaces, you must use unvarying 'remote' IPs as indicated
#above.  Virtual interface devices should not be used, they provide the same
#statistics as the real interface they are a virtual interface of.
