How To Gather DHCP Client Stats

[jmacleod1]

     I've got a WRVS4400N wireless router running DHCP for a couple dozen wireless clients in a public library. We need to gather statistics on the wireless clients on a daily basis: average number of clients, max number of clients, average time used per client etc.

     The router only gives a list of clients currently allocated an IP address, but there doesn't seem to be a way to gather statistics over time. Is there a program that will interface with the router to gather more detailed statistics?

SNMP would be the likely way to find this information, provided you have a MIB browser or familiar with such tools.  I don't believe there is a MIB released for this unit so it would be kind of a shot in the dark to find all your queries.

The Administration > Management window displays the settings for configuring

the password and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for the router.
