syslog and snmp posibilities with multiple contexts

[henrik_tdc]

Hi,

Is it possible to have different contexts log through the Admin context and use the syslog servers defined here?

Furthermore, is it possible to poll a context via SNMP on the VIP or can a context only be monitored on the local vlan interface.

We have a challenge with our customer contexts we are hosting where the context is situated behind a customer firewall also hosted by us.

this is the scenario:

syslog server <> firewall <> mpls <> firewall <> loadbalancer glue net <> loadbalancer <> DMZ

This would mean two static NATs for each context which I would really like to avoid.

Best regards,

Henrik

You can't get the syslog from other contexts into the admin context.

And you can only send SNMP queries to an interface/vlan address - not a vip.

Usually, all contexts share the same management vlan.  Like non-virtualised devices, you would connect all of them to the management vlan.

Same here.

Gilles.
