MRTG Uses a highly portable SNMP implementation written entirely in Perl (thanks to Simon Leinen). There is no need to install any external SNMP package.

Kick off MRTG Project

To get MRTG to work on Windows, you need the follow:

- Security tab: choose Accept SNMP Packets from these hosts

Now we had finished config SNMP services in MRTG projects, next we must make the mrtg run it, please follow my instructions
