Hi,

I want to monitor a client's usage and bill him for the month.how do I do that?

Draw a graph for every user, and bill them on their average monthly bandwidth consumption. This is the easyest way

You can draw graphs directly in mtik 2.9 or if you are using 2.8 you can use mrtg or rrd on separate machine.

Hello Jager,

How do u use MT 2.9 to draw a graph? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

but it will be for a whole interface. you can use MRTG for other SNMP information and graphs, MRTG is a separate tool. you can also see all with traffic flow:

normis, I would suggest something more robust and professional like using radius and a database like sql. with php they can also allow clients seeing the situation etc...

Well, no problem. Use RADIUS or MRTG with DB backend.
