-#**Cacti Server Notes**
--------------------------------------------
-Installing snmpd to an embedded system and then installing cacti to a client to monitor the
-device. Additionally, this tutorial covers one way to monitor a client without an snmpd server
-running on the client machine (ping only).  The embedded OS is openWRT on a Netgear WNDR.
-  ssh -p ###### root@nameofembeddedhost
-  opkg update
-  opkg install snmpd
-  cd /etc/config
-  nano snmpd
-  /etc/init.d/snmpd enable
-  /etc/init.d/snmpd restart
-There are many customizations possible, but my colleagues recommend the minimum of changing the
-name of the public community to something indicative of the network purpose.  Additionally, it
-is also adviseable to change three fields below that refer to the physical location, ip address,
-and the contact email for the system administrator in charge of managing the snmp server.  Once
-you are done, continue to installing cacti on a network machine that will field the incoming snmp
-requests.
-  sudo apt install cacti
-I used the default recommendations, however, when cacti failed repeatedly I was forced to use the
-reconfiguration command below.  The OS I used in this case was Debian 9.2.1 Stretch.
-  sudo dpkg-reconfigure cacti
-  <Yes, rebuild database, default to other options>
-  <I chose matching MySQL pass because it failed with blank>
-At this point, cacti should work so to speak, but it will need to be configured and have its license
-terms accepted.  Since cacti utilizes a web server with which users may access its data, users must
-configure cacti within that interface.  FYI - I chose defaults, and used apache2, as follows  from
-within the Firefox web-browser:
-  localhost/cacti
-  <say yes to EULA, etc.>
-  <user: admin>
-  <pass: admin>
-Since cacti's web server is running, its web server page can highlight information from the snmp server
-that it queries information from as a client (& many other queries too!).  I would error on the side of portraying more information, not less, so consider the following configurations from within the web interface.
-  Device
-  Add
-  #SNMP Server#
-  ucd/net SNMP Host
-  Ping or SNMP
-  ICMP Ping
-  Version 2
-  <name of public community chosen ^>
-During this install I had a conflict with a previously installed web server nginx, so I had to find its
-process and then kill it:
-  netstat -enpl
-  sudo kill -XXX PID
-After that, I restarted the web-server apache2 as follows:
-  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

-Installing a private git server.

--------------------------------------------
-#**Installing openWRT onto a WNDR 3800 router**
--------------------------------------------
-Download the image for openWRT.  I used the following site:
-  https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic-wndr3800-squashfs-factory.img
-Before you begin preparing the WNDR3800, you should ensure your network interface is on the proper subnet.  I chose the 105 for the last octet.  This can be done as follows:
-  ip a a 192.168.1.105/24 dev <devid>
-If you are unsure what your device id is, please run:
-  ip a
-Now, you are ready to install the image.  Using a paper clip or other pick, and with the WNDR plugged in but powered off, depress the reset button on the backside with the paper clip, and while keeping it depressed, power up the WNDR by pressing its power button, all while simultaneously maintaining the depression of the reset button.  If you followed the steps correctly, the lights will start amber, then flicker amber, then flicker green and then change to solid green.  The device is now in the proper mode to accept transmission of the image.  Nevertheless, it is good to ping the device and you will see a specific error that will indicate it is in the proper mode. Those steps are:
-  ping 192.168.1.1
-  curl -T ~/Downloads/openwrt-15.05.1-ar71xx-generic-wndr3800-squashfs-factory.img tftp://192.168.1.1
-The device will automatically reboot when the image completes transfer.  You may verify the install by visiting the following site in a web browser:
-.168.1.1
--------------------------------------------
-#**Beagle Bone Black w/ Debian**
--------------------------------------------
-To locate device if auto-mounted
-  sudo dmesg
-  umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
-Optional: use fdisk to remove the partition first before dding ...
-  sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 if=/home/sexa/Downloads/bone-debian-9.2-iot-armhf-2017-10-10-4gb.img bs=1M conv=fdatasync [or && sync]
-After this, pull out SD card.  Plug back in.  Locate where it mounted, prepare to edit file to allow it to run the installer upon boot.
