SNMP on 50mb connection

Hi,

I would like to know, if SNMP is possible on modem that is provided by Virginmedia for 50mb connection ( I presume no, because there are no conf options for modem ), or on router that is also provided by Virginmedia as part of package, I am using D-Link, given by VM as part of package, I have checked on that router, there is no such provision, on router, but I would like to know the usage of bandwidth.

I recently got a rented CCNP training kit from a supplier, I did enabled SNMP on cisco 3750 switch, I was able to monitor, but I had to return that kit back to supplier after maturity of contract. Now I am really looking forward the usage stat using SNMP.

Any idea, how to enable it on VM hardware, or I have to buy another router with SNMP support? I thought that it will be common function, but to my surprise, it is not, majority of hardware available for home usage is not supporting SNMP.

Thanks in advance

The is nothing configurable on a Virgin modem by the end user and any attempt would be a breach of the Terms and Conditions.

You can do whatever you want with a 3rd party router though.
