Does SNMP flow by TCP or by UDP? UDP would be wrinkle. TLS-UDP is not unheard of but not super common in my experience. Does AT-TLS support UDP?

We are still on z/OS 1.12, so I don't have any new fancy stuff. We use CA-OPS/MVS to trap "abend" messages from the CA-7 Browse log. We send these messages to an Solar Winds "Orion" SNMP server so that it can interface with CA Service Desk to automatically open Service Desk tickets. This is all on internal (Data Center) LAN. But it is "server to server" by the standards of our new masters and so it MUST be encrypted or we must stop doing it. I have been trying to read up on AT/TLS, but it is totally over my head. I don't really know anything about IP encryption. Or Windows people are also ignorant of IP encryption on z/OS (of course). -- People in sleeping bags are the soft tacos of the bear world.
