+You also will probably have to write some scripts, such as an auto discovery script and perhaps a custom poller and/or a custom grapher. More about those later.

+__Web Configuration__

+This section details the configuration you need to do using the web frontend to add a new custom Interface type.
+
+Goto Administration -> Internal Configuration -> Polling and Discovery -> Interface Types
+
+Click Add
+
+The fields are as follows:
+
+* Description - Name of the Interface Type
+* AD Enabled - Is auto discovery enabled for this interface type. If it is not, JFFNMS will never go looking for this type of interface either when auto discovery is set for a host or when you use the WYSIWYG interface selector.
+* Validate in AD - ??
+* AD Function - The name of the Auto Discovery script - leave it set to none until you have written you AD script (see later section).
+* AD Paramaters - Parameters passed to the AD script, allows you to use the same AD script for multiple different Interface Types by passing differnt param's
+* AD Default Poller - The default poller used to poll for data for this interface type. Leave it set to No Poller until you have created your poller
+* Internal Update Handler - ??
+* Break by Card - Allows you to split interfaces based on the card (read big routers here) the interface is on. Not sure how it works.
+* Have Graph - Leave unchecked until you have a graph type configured
+* RRD options - Leave until your graph stuff is sorted.
