Setting MIB Variables through a couple of firewalls

["Danny H Williams" <danny@uk.ibm.com>]

Hi All

I have a problem setting MIB variables through a firewall.

Here is my configuration:

NetView
Server A (192.168.14.52 internal - 10.20.2.8 from Firewall)
   |
   |
Firewall
   |
   |
Managed
Network
   |
   |
Firewall
   |
   |
NetView
Server B (192.168.9.37 internal - 10.20.5.8 from Firewall)

What I need to do is perfrom an SNMPSET from NetView Server A to NetView
Server B.

I have tried adding both the 192.168.14.52 and 10.20.2.8 IP addresses as
readWrite communities in the /etc/snmpd.conf file.

Whenever I try an SNMPSET, I get a read-only error on NetView Server A -
see text below

# snmpset -c private 10.20.5.8 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 octetstring "Tivoli Team"
snmpset: This variable is read only.

I can perform the SNMPSET locally.

Can anyone tell me were I should be looking to debug this? There are no
messsages at all in /usr/tmp/snmpd.log or /var/adm/ras/syslog (and I have
*.debug enabled in /etc/syslog.conf)

Thanks,
