Which happens to be what my ISP calls a *bebox
Process is quite simple (dispite what the CLI manual might make you think)
First, telnet to the router
naxxtor@marvin:~$ telnet your.routers.IP.address
Trying ...
Connected to your.routers.IP.address.

Default username is Administrator, blank password
Then paste the following commands into it, replacing $email with your email address, $name with the name of the router and $password with the desired community name.
:snmp config sysContact="$email" sysName="$router" :snmp community modify securityname=ROCommunity communityname=$password :service system modify name=SNMP_AGENT state=enabled :saveall
Then, SNMP should be enabled. Try doing
snmpwalk -v 1 -c $password your.routers.IP.address
And you should get a bunch of OIDs
Add some MRTG and you can graph your network traffic :-)
If you use cfgmaker, you'll notice a bunch of really useless "interfaces" come up. You'll need to identify which ones you really care about and comment out the rest. ethport0-3 are the ethernet ports on the back of the router (useful for graphing your housmates bandwidth usage ;-) ), atmbr0 is only used when the device is in bridge mode. atm0-2 are only used when the device is in NAT mode
Have fun!
