I have a linux box with netsnmp that has 3 ip addresses (10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3) and I have three snmpd processes running on udp 161, 666 and 667.
If a snmp request comes in on 10.0.0.1 it would go obviously to the snmpd on 161. Is there anyway that if a standard 161 snmp request comes in on 10.0.0.2, that the master agent can take that request and hand it to snmpd on 666 ? The requested OID in both case would need to be the same. Why would I do this ? I have 3 boxes for which an operational snmp agent is not possible. Each of the 3 snmp daemons on the linux box would be 'extended' to render stats from each of these 'other' boxes via some under-the-covers rsh activity. The polling mechanism can only poll on 161, and I can't buy 1 linux box per 'other' system to act as front end. If I can't do what I describe with netsnmp, would it be possible to do some sort of port redirection that could hand a request that comes in on udp 161 destined for a certain ip address (10.0.0.1, etc) and redirect it to the approriate snmpd, each of which are running autonomously ? Any ideas ? Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
