It is most likely that the other company is not currently allow SNMP teaps to go out, you may have to apply for that. There isn't reason why they shouldn't , but you should do a Risk Assessment sa so should they. But it should be possible.
Scott Morris Senior Network Engineer ORAU / ORISE 865-576-4672 'B' Schedule -----Original Message----- From: UMSA Internal Web [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 06, 2003 7:27 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Remote monitoring of PCs behind a firewall I have a problem that I'm not sure if I can actually work around. I am in an environment when I have some machines that are behind someone else's firewall. The location where the PCs are located will not open up their firewall to me so I can monitor those machines. So I thought I could do just basic problem monitoring using SNMP traps generated from Win2K from the event logs via the Win2K SNMP service and evntwin. I thought this would work since this is a datagram that is sent from the machine and doesn't require me to poke the machine from the outside of the firewall. Does anyone know if this will work? I assume I'd have to create a map with those machines on it and set the notifications based on the traps and turn off polling. If I turn off polling does it still react to SNMP traps? Has anyone else had to work in similar circumstances and if so what did you do and how did it work? Thanks in advance.
