If you're interested in the SNMP objects that a device has, do a MIB walk
using a MIB browser.
There are free ones on the web, such as Loriot http://www.llecointe.com
(freeware, with oddities and not much documentation but many features) and
also from MG-Soft http://www.mg-soft.com which is a commercial product with
a 30 day trial.

9.1.6 Configuration and Management
! Embedded user-friendly web browser for easily managing
ADSL Router
! SNMP agent MIB-II, PPP MIB, ADSL Line MIB
! TFTP Firmware upgrades via Web Browser GUI
! Support DHCP Server function for IP distribution

...so it looks like it does. Interesting. Not having played with SNMP
myself, I wouldn't have a clue how to use it, but I had a look in the telnet
interface anyway and discovered some *very* interesting stuff. (Well, it's
interesting for me anyway).

Now, what I found interesting about that, is when I cracked out cfgmaker
from mrtg (cfgmaker public@my.router.ip.addres)s, it actually found
something. Maybe this means we can get pretty traffic graphs now. I am
leaving mrtg running with my new config and seeing what happens. I'll let
you all know.

'twas I that discovered that I think. Well, I found it in the 1.8.0.5
firmware that came with my RTA020.

Happy SNMPing
