Re: [nv-l] SNMP Polling via a MLM
2003-12-08 16:31:51
Sorry - I believe MLMs only do ping polling. My understanding is that
if you need SNMP-polling you need to talk to your IBM rep about raising
an enhancement request.
Can you not put your MLM on the same side of the firewall as the devices
it is polling? Then you just need to open SNMP ports in your firewall
between your MLM and NetView to get your information back.
Cheers,

We have a main Netview server, but recently acquired 6 "isolated"
networks that have devices which need to be SNMP Polled.
For security reasons we can not open ICMP, SNMP, and SNMPTrap between
our main network and each device in these 6 isolated networks.
Or solution is to put 6 MLM's, one in each isolated network, and have
them directly poll each device and then report that status back to our
main NetView server.
The question is as such.... Can MLM's poll devices with SNMP or are
they limited to ICMP?
We are running NetView 7.1.3 (FP01) on AIX.
Thank you,
