Last I looked, there were a few 1122's left at dick smith for a
clearance price of $467 inc gst.

TradeMe sounds expensive!!

Subject: SNMP On Nokia M1122 (Yes!)
Well guys - I finally caved and bought an M1122 from TP (They had one
last shipment in). If anyone offers me a cheap M1122 now, I shall kill
you.. I looked for a second hand one for a couple of months and the
cheapest on Trademe are now getting up to $465!!!
ANYWAY - A few weeks ago I was using a Cisco 827 and got MRTG going on
my XP machine without toooo many stoopid dramas.
I had to give the 827 back and used a basic windows box for a while with
an ni200, and then yesterday got an M1122...
First thing I did was find out about MRTG / SNMP on the M1122, and the
general concensus was "Nope, not in any release firmware, and even then,
it's broken"... SO..
1) Find Alex Kings instructions on getting it working under Linux
2) DL, install and configure Expect for NT. Got it working fine.
3) DL, install and configure Awk. Got it working (apparently) fine.
4) Spend many frustrating hours trying to get AWK to work properly.
Found 2 major problems.
A) Alex King's details are from a Telecom M1122, it has 2 pvcs in it.
Easy enough
B) Either awk95 or expect are broken / don't use the same eol delimiters
so screws being able to use AWK in the way Alex describes.
5) Download, install and LEARN how to start using Perl.
6) Discover PERL is easier than falling off a log and in 5 minutes write
comething to take the expect output and give exactly what Alex got from
his piped expect | awk |awk.
7) Celebrate by having dinner
8) Decide to see if I still have MRTG configured on this machine. Have a
look at the bloody pages and discover that ever since I plugged the
M1122 in a day previously, it _HAS_ been talking to the M1122 over SNMP
and getting something out of the damn thing!
9) Investigate further and discover that the M1122 DOES in fact support
SNMP  out of the box and it's only slightly broken. (Standard reporting
interfaces = 0 - easy fixed)
10) Try to understand why I didn't actually try this myself first and
instead relied on the websites all saying the M1122 didn't support SNMP.
Anyway - I still have one issue - the numbers that the M1122 seem to be
reporting are wrong by lots... I imagine that after I let it stabilise,
it'll turn out to be out by a factor of 8, 16, 128, 256 or 1024. Anyone
know for sure (Octets reported in the M1122 pages)
Anyway - if anyone wants any perl code to simulate Alex's awkawk, let me
know...
Cheers - Neil Gardner
