Overview of MRTG and CISCO switch

Hello,

Can someone give me an overview of setting up MRTG and monitor each port on a cisco switch?

I just want to know what I need to focus on learning.

Here is what I think. If you see that I miss some steps or something is wrong, please point it out. I just purchased Essential SNMP from O'Reilly just to help me with SNMP.

Here are the steps that I think.

1. Download the latest version of MRTG at mrtg.org.
2. Download 95.pl (for 95th percentile measurement purpose)
3. Assign an IP address, mask, and gateway to the cisco switch.
4. Enable/setup SNMP on the switch. (Do I need to do the same to the server?)

That's it?
