Configuring SunMC to use SNMP-over-SSH (or something else)
Hi there,
I was just wondering, if this is possible it would really be the solution to a lot of headaches ;-)
The SunMC server and agent use SNMP to talk to eachother, it's a two-way process. But what if there are firewalls between the two, and I can't use SNMP?
Basically, you would have this setup:
SunMC Server -- FW - FW -- SunMC Agent
or....
SunMC Server -- FW - FW -- SunMC Server -- SunMC Agent
All IP addresses are fully routable, so I don't have to worry about NAT or anything.
The problem is, I'm not allowed to open a lot of ports on both firewalls, or to use two-way SNMP. I am however allowed to use ssh from Server->Agent and vice-versa.
Can I get the SunMC server to send all SNMP traffic to the agent via ssh? I'm sure I'm not the only one who came across this problem, does anyone have a good solution for this, maybe not using ssh but something else?
Thank you very much in advance for any pointers you can come up with!
