Re: [nv-l] Local SNMP traps

Is it the network that has certain ports banned, or have I misunderstood the question?
Would this devious method work?
Secure the traffic between the Tec boxes with IPsec.
Then set up an IP filter list for snmp (see MS technet bulletin 313381).
The snmp traffic would then flow through the same IPsec tunnel, and could not
be stopped by access-lists in routers.
Once the traffic reaches a box under your control, feed it into an MLM (Mid level manager)
for forwarding onto netview.

I have an snmp related question.  If I have an application on a server
that spews SNMP traps, and there is a Tivoli EP on the server, is there
a way that I an redirect the SNMP traps to flow through the Tivoli
framework?  We are in a secure network, and every additional
communication requirement is met with some resistance, so I am trying to
find a workaround for this, instead of having SNMP flow through to the
Gateway (where I would run the TEC SNMP adapter) or to NetView.

Thanks,
