RE: [nv-l] Netview through a firewall with NAT

["Barr, Scott" <Scott_Barr@csgsystems.com>]

If you "discover" with SNMP but don't poll with SNMP then the status polls are PINGs which may not be allowed through your firewall. Try switching to SNMP polling.

Subject: [nv-l] Netview through a firewall with NAT

I have some devices on the external side of the firewall that need to be monitored.  My Netview machine has a NAT and can find the devices once placed in the seedfile, but after the first polling cycle they become unreachable.  Does Netview have problems working through a firewall or dealing with NAT?

 

Thanks
