There's a package called ucd-snmp that contains a program called 'snmpget'. This allows you to query the values of internal variables in the Pipe50. The Ascend MIB files are available at: ftp://ftp.ascend.com/pub/Software-Releases/SNMP/ along with the documentation of the variables. I'm doing a similar thing to what you need on my Cisco routers, and I'm using SNMP to query my Ascend Max4000s to give me a running status about the number of ports being used at one time. I'll send you the max script if you want, it's written in perl. Joe -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc. [Tel: +44 1273 607072 Fax: +44 1273 607073]
