I don't let SNMP through my firewall.  Period.  When I have need monitor in
another location that I don't have a private line to, I'll put another
monitor in there and have it communicate back here over VPN.

Subject: [zenoss-users] Re: snmp on a non-standard port?

After more testing, I find that if I add a device listening on the default
snmp port (161) and then change the port on the device and in zProperties it
works after doing a "Collect Configuration."

So, it seems that Zenoss _will_ talk to devices on alternate snmp ports, if
they already exist. If I try to add a device using any snmp port other than
161, it fails with the "No snmp found on IP" error.

It's quite cumbersome to change the snmp port for each device just to add it
for monitoring by Zenoss, then change it back.

And seriously, is this so unusual? Nobody else runs into this issue?
Everybody is really leaving their snmp listeners on the standard port for
every script kiddie's bot network to scan? Nobody is using port forwarding
to query multiple devices behind a firewall?
