Usage:
cfgmaker [options] [community@]router [[options] [community@]router ...]
I can probably muddle through the options with a few trials but I am
lost with "community@]router"
My router is known only as 192.168.1.1 but I'm looking at the output of
the Wildblue receiver/modem and don't know how to address this except as
eth0 on box10, the computer in which mrtg resides.
If the modem does not support snmp, or you can not configure the
community on it, you may need to configure a Linux as router, make all
traffic to cross it, and then point MRTG to one of the interfaces of
that PC
