RE: [nv-l] [NETMON] SNMP Polling devices in DMZ

["Binder, Karin" <karin.binder@nwa.com>]

We ran into the same Gauntlet Firewall limitation.  Our solution was to build a private management network per Cisco's SAFE architecture.  This provided a way to use other management tools as well as multiple Netviews on our DMZ infrastructure.

Subject: [nv-l] [NETMON] SNMP Polling devices in DMZ

Is anyone using 2 or more NetViews to SNMP poll devices behind a firewall?
My problem is that my security department has informed me that the "Gauntlet" Firewall can only be configured (by Ip Address) for one SNMP manager.

This presents an issue for me because I have a production and a redundant NetView server.
I have considered using an MLM (or two) to solve this single point of failure issue.
What other creative ways have you used to get around this limitation of the Gauntlet Firewall?
Thanks,
Don
