Hello,
I am planning to run NNM6.41 (Version 7 is only scheduled by mid 2005 !!) on Sun Solaris machine. My NNM (subnet 20.1.1.x) server is connected to the managed network (subnet 30.1.1.x) via two routers A and B running static NAT since the interconnection is handled by another company.
The HP NNM server is located on a private subnet A : 20.1.1.x
The managed objects are located on a second private subnet B: 30.1.1.x
Both subnets are private and under our organisation.
But the subnets are interconnected via two routers A and B that nat addresses to "routed" addresse since the interconnetion is handled by another organisation.
So ip packets will be natted on one side and de-natted on the other side.
I have few questions regarding Openview NNM and static NAT:
- What are the restrictions on snmp traps (I am talking about traps (not icmp ou snmp) on NNM using static NAT ? Will I receive my traps correctly ? if not Why ?
- Does NNM 6.4 support NAT when enabling ICMP polling ? What is exactly the problem / restriction ? Will I send/receive my echo/echo reply correctly ? if not Why ?
- Does NNM 6.4 support NAT when enabling SNMP polling ? What is exactly the problem / restriction ? Will I send/receive my snmp-get/snmp reply correctly ? if not Why ?
Please any answer, clarification or link to usefull documents is welcome. Only reply if you have already faced the problem and have the right solution.
Thanks in advance.
