You can install it which ever way it works.

If you have more than one perl installation n the system, make sure that 
the one the plugin is using has the Net::SNMP module installed.

-k the ifIndex is the interger assigned by the agent to a particular

Best way to find it is by running snmpwalk -v1 -c secret localhost iftable
