Sorry if this has been covered before. I am new to
the list and to NetView.
I am trying to find a solution to forward snmpv2 traps
from within a DMZ (firewall)
to my NetView server. These particular traps are from
Veritas Cluster Server. I initially
attempted to use TEC's snmpagent, which doesn't
support snmpv2. I then
noticed that our networking group had moved to HP
Openview and we had a NetView
license I could use. After working with NetView for a
few days, I was impressed by
what capabilities it had and by the fact that it does
support snmpv2. I figured I could
place an MLM in each DMZ with ports 161 and 162 opened
back to the NetView server
and have a management window into each DMZ.
After several weeks of meetings convincing the
firewall folks that having the ports opened was a good
thing,
I install and configure the MLM, only to discover that
MLM DOES NOT SUPPORT SNMPV2.
Tivoli support suggested installing a Netview server
within each DMZ or opening ports 161 and 162
from each DMZ client back to the NetView server....
Would anyone have a "reasonable" suggestion for how to
forward these events?
Perhaps HP Openview has a solution....
