Friends,
I have cases where our NCM server does not have direct reach to some network gear, but would still like it to be able to pull configs and SNMP (for version information and the like). I've search for using a jump-host which doesn't seem to be supported, only a console server. What about hiding all the devices behind one NAT/PAT address, but assigning a different SNMP port and a different SSH port to each one? For example: 10.10.10.10:5001 = router1, 10.10.10.10:5002 = router2, 10.10.10.10:5003 = router3, and etc. I see that NCM can use different ports for SSH and SNMP however it will not let me import devices with the same IP address, so the IP must be globally unique or something. Any way around that, or around the jump host issue? Using ansible I'm able to proxy through one box to reach the devices so I'm hoping someone has figured out how to make that work with NCM as well.
TIA,
Eric
let me check though - I'm not sure I can add two devices with the same IP address, even if it takes a different port to reach them
I'll dig into that.
10.10.10.10:5001 = router1, 10.10.10.10:5002 = router2, 10.10.10.10:5003 = r
