Communication with systems in an external network<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> host name or IP address<br />

This is needed to set up communication with the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Note 1: If the burb in which the SNMP agent is running contains more than one<br />

interface, specify the address <strong>of</strong> the first interface in the burb. The SNMP agent will<br />

only respond to the first interface in the burb.<br />

Note 2: If you are using High Availability (HA), specify the shared HA cluster IP<br />

address or host name, not the actual interface address or host name.<br />

Community names configured in the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> SNMP agent<br />

This is needed to allow the management station to retrieve MIB<br />

objects from the SNMP agent.<br />

MIB information<br />

This may be needed to properly translate the object identifications.<br />

Be sure to inform the administrator that the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> supports<br />

the Host Resources MIB.<br />

Important: On the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, all Secure Computing Corporation MIB files are<br />

located in the /etc/sidewinder/snmp directory. If for some reason these files cannot<br />

be accessed from the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>, they can be downloaded via an FTP client or<br />

Web browser. The MIB files are scc-mib and scc-sw-mib.<br />

To retrieve the files using anonymous FTP, use an FTP client and log in to<br />

ftp.securecomputing.com. The directory where the files are located is /pub/mibs.<br />

To retrieve the files using a Web browser, point the browser to<br />

ftp://ftp.securecomputing.com/pub/mibs/.<br />

You can route (or forward) SNMP messages between a management<br />

station behind the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> and any SNMP managed node on<br />

the other side <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>. You can also allow an external<br />

management station to access the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> SNMP agent. Both <strong>of</strong><br />

these scenarios require the use <strong>of</strong> a UDP proxy.<br />

Important: A UDP proxy is not needed to allow the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> SNMP agent to<br />

communicate with a management station in an internal network (behind the <strong>Sidewinder</strong><br />

<strong>G2</strong>).<br />

Figure 14-5 summarizes which SNMP configurations require you to<br />

configure a UDP proxy.<br />
