SNMP over IPSEC

Question

hi... friends!!!!

Anyone have any idea whether NPM can work with SNMP over VPN, IPSEC, SSL or SSH, I need to open model from two points on the internet but the computer security area limits me use port 161 natively.

Jose,

SNMP traffic is able to flow over a VPN as it doesnt rely on broadcasts which would not be able to flow over an IPSEC tunnel. Therefore it is able to have NPM and the polled hosts on opposite sides of a VPN and work correctly. As long as your encryption domains have been setup correctly.

We do it for a number of our ASPs
