Hi,

I want to enable SNMP on a pipeline 50, but can't seem to get it to work. 
Can someone outline instructions on doing this if possible.

I want to monitor the Pipeline 50 with MRTG, Traffic in and out.

I beleive I have set it up, when I go into Term Serv and so show udp listen.

which seems to say SNMP is listening patiently

but when I run mrtg on it, it says

Curious as to why, I ran an nmap udp scan on it, and it listed every 
possible UDP port, and says that they are all listening.

Interesting ports on  (203.111.117.199):

****************************************************************************

Which is obviously bogus. Last time I checked BackOrifice wouldn't run on 
ascend routers ;)

I can telnet and ping the router from the machine running mrtg, so it aint 
a network type problem. I heard somewhere that UDP is an unroutable 
protocol, which could cause this problem. But UDP not being routable sounds 
like horseradish to me.

If anyone has any ideas PLEASE let me know. I have been working on this for 
about 2 months now. I would love to get this solved.
