Use snmpfwd as a proxy (non-transparent) with contexts? #15

Hello, I am trying to get snmp information for some hosts that are behind a DMZ, in the past i used snmpv3 context features (net-snmp), but it's not very well documented and I run into some issues, also I would like to forward traps to my monitoring server (zenoss), so snmpfw might be a good alternative. I've seen the examples on using the trap forwarding feature, but I haven't seen about the snmp forwarding. Is there any example of this?

monitoring server -> linux server (sees both networks) -> serverA , serverB

Absolutely, you should be able to forward both SNMP commands and notifications.

You can change SNMP version when forwarding, though this is a side-feature which you may ignore. That is you can forward commands/notifications in a 1-to-1 fashion SNMP version-wise.

You can carry over SNMP context when forwarding or use it for message routing between servers A/B, if this is what you are asking about?

Let me know if something is still not clear enough.
