SNMP Proxy Feature Overview
The Remote RMX-3200 SNMP Proxy feature allows for virtual network elements
(NEs) to represent devices which are subtended from Remote RMX-3200. Remote
RMX-3200 acts as the SNMP manager for the real NE. This means that an NE can be
“hidden” on the network, yet still monitored by Remote RMX-3200.
The various states of the NEs are represented in Remote RMX-3200’s alarm table,
which provides a mechanism for management systems to query the state and receive
alarms.
One major benefit of this feature is a reduction in IP address requirements for sites,
where private addressing can be used between the SNMP device and Remote RMX-
3200.
Figure 22-1 shows the interaction of the mediation NEs (snmp ne1 and snmp ne2)
inside Remote RMX-3200 with the “real” SNMP NEs and the action and alarm table
mediation subsystems.
