So that file, link.php, is that plugin something that you just place in the 
/inc directory and off it goes?  How is the plugin installed or run?

I have been very happy with using the snmpgeneric contributed script. 
The author has been open to many suggestions, even going so far as to making it 
very simple to use the extension.  For example, when you click on the tab to 
use the plugin, the focus is on the "show list" button, so you only have to hit 
enter to run it.  And when it scans the host, it starts off with a selection on 
the "create ports and IPs" button, so all you have to do is verify the info and 
hit enter again.

I see that this was brought into the contribs section of the project via bug 
530 http://bugs.racktables.org/view.php?id=530 , and also via this commit.

Thanks,
Rob
