For SNMP traps, WUG looks not only at the source address of the packet, but also the source address that is embedded in the payload of the trap. This is easily alterable without incurring any firewall/routing issues that might come up from spoofing the IP source address of the packet. We commonly use a tool called trapgen.exe to generate traps for testing, you can download it here: http://www.ncomtech.com/download.htm When using it, the command line switch to alter the internal address is -i. So for instance to send a trap to a WUG at the fictional DNS wug.mydomain.com that appears to be from 10.1.2.3, use something like this: trapgen -d wug.mydomain.com -i 10.1.2.3 -g 6 -s 1 (In practice you'd need to add some variable bindings to the command line to convey some more info with the trap). --Tim Farley IPSWITCH Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
