Secure SNMP using NetView

[Terry_E_Simpson@tivoli.com]

This question is related to NetView (Both NT & Unix) and SNMP Versions 1,
2, and 3.   Is there a way to provide any security or secure a SNMP request
(GET and SET) to security network devices, like a VPN Gate?  Are there
external software offerings that provides some level of security for SNMP
that will integrate with NetView?  I know there are hardware devices that
provides security for data across the link, but for some strange reason,
only the SNMP requests are of concern.
