Used:
Thomson Speedtouch 510 ADSL modem Analog v4 (4 ports ethernet)
Firmware version 4.2.7.16.0
Downloaded from:
http://www.speedtouch.nl/downloads/510_Upgrade_427.exe
Downloaded the ST500 CLI Reference Guide (PDF format)
http://www.speedtouch.com/pdf/ST500 CLI Reference Guide R4.2.pdf
http://www.speedtouch.com/pdf/ST500%20CLI%20Reference%20Guide%20R4.2.pdf
Find the SNMP Commands [page 346 and further]
[*** USING TELNET TO CONFIGURE/activate SNMP ***]
Telnet to your Speedtouch 510
use the standard IP 10.0.0.138 or the one you configured.
In my example I used an extra internal IP address: 192.168.1.1
telnet 192.168.1.1
login: admin <enter>
check if SNMP is enabled:
snmp list
[snmp]=>list
NO COMMUNITY NAMES SPECIFIED, SNMP IS SWITCHED OFF
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
— Specify at least one community name to enable snmp —
Enter the following command sequence:
snmp config [options]
[RWCommunity = <string>]
[ROCommunity = <string>]
[sysContact = <quoted string>]
[sysName = <quoted string>]
[sysLocation = <quoted string>]
ie.
snmp config RWCommunity = private
snmp config ROCommunity = public
snmp config sysContact = « john doe »
snmp config sysName = « my adsl modem »
snmp config sysLocation = « my place »
SNMP is enabled now, you can use MRTG to configure the statistics
[*** CONFIGURING MRTG FOR USE WITH THOMSON SPEEDTOUCH 510 ***]
start checking the functionalities of the speedtouch
with MRTG this is simple: start with ‘cfgmaker’
this is a very simple commandline with a workdir and the output to a config file
Of course you can check the SNMP stuff with SNMPWalk
/usr/bin/snmpwalk 192.168.1.1 public
The MRTG Command
/cfgmaker –global ‘Workdir: /home/groups/home/web/mrtg/’ –output /home/groups/home/web/mrtg/speedtouch.cfg 192.168.1.1
[OUTPUT example file: SPEEDTOUCH.CFG also to be found the scripts folder]
Notes:
in my example I use Interfaces:
***
102 for eth0 (more or less the master ethernet port)
Interface 102 >> Descr: ‘IP:-eth0-ETHERNET-THOMSON-SpeedTouch-510-4.2.7.16.0’
***
103 for WAN (the PPPoA connection in my situation)
Notice: it’s possible that this entry is commented out
Interface 103 >> Descr: ‘IP:-PPPoA_1-Point-to-Point-THOMSON-SpeedTouch-510-4.2.7.16.0’
***
201-204 Ethernet Ports (track the LAN1/2/3/4 ports) in my example I have enabled 2 ports (ports which are not active will be
commented out.
Interface 201 >> Descr: ‘ETH:-ethport1-THOMSON-SpeedTouch-510-4.2.7.16.0’
***
in my default config
601 and 603
Interface 602 >> Descr: ‘ADSL:-FAST-CHANNEL-THOMSON-SpeedTouch-510-4.2.7.16.0’
Interface 603 >> Descr: ‘ADSL:-INTERLEAVED-CHANNEL-THOMSON-SpeedTouch-510-4.2.7.16.0’
are also active but no data is entered. So I have no idea what the purpose is. I have deleted it
okay, save all settings
now you can run MRTG
this you should now how it’s working. Tip: use also indexmaker
Tjsak!
