Exception for SNMP

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 2 Jun 2005

Q:
I can't get SNMP to work with the firewall up. When I disable the firewall, everything works fine. Can someone tell me what I should enter to filtcfg for SNMP? I must be missing something ...

A:
Creat an exception like so:

source interface: private
dest. interface: public
packet type: snmp-st (create this below)
source address: IP of MRTG machine
dest. address: IP of router

The SNMP-st packet type can be created like so:

protocol: UDP
source ports: 1024-65535
dest. ports: 161
stateful: enabled
