Hi
I am trying to enable my DG834G v4 (with Firmware V5.01.16) for SNMP so that I can monitor bandwidth usage at the Router, to include TV usage as well as computers. (This v4 Netgear has the Broadcom chip.)
It cannot be SNMP enabled within the normal interface so have tried enabling it via the direct page at
http://192.168.0.1/snmp.htm, then put it into debug mode, then telnetted it with ‘iptables -D INPUT' as widely cited on Google to clear the default firewall blocking of Port 161, but then I lose internet access, and have to reboot the router to recover.
Does anyone have experience of enabling SNMP on the DG834G, preferably with V4? Is that telnet instruction correct, or does it require that I should be doing something to specifically unblock Port 161 as well?
I saw on a South African forum that the telnet instruction should be
# iptables -L
Chain input (policy ACCEPT):
Chain forward (policy ACCEPT):
target prot opt source destination ports
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:161
DROP udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:161
# iptables -D INPUT 1
I tried that - it would list iptables -L but none of the change commands were recognised (syntax?), and of course iptables -D INPUT 1 just blocked internet access again.
Or does the DG834G have the SNMP enable page without supporting SNMP in reality? That's what this forum at
http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=24415 indicated. I would ask there but it's impossible to complete registration on the Netgear forum at the moment!
