I have Dataminer Agent (DMA) & Dataminer probes (DMPs) architecture where DMPs are installed at remote sites or ships. I am looking forward to receive the SNMP traps of each DMP to the 3rd party trap receiver installed at respective site.
For security reasons, we will have 2 different physical ethernet ports on each DMP (one port to Dataminer monitored elements and another for interfacing the 3rd party SNMP trap receiver). My questions:
- Can DMP send the traps to 3rd party trap receiver.
- If yes, Can we do this also from other NIC port of same DMP server or computer.
- If this is not standard feature, can we purchase the license for the same get this done?
Just a note that (we can not allow 3rd party trap receiver company to connect to the central DMA due to the security reason).
Hi Pramod,
A DMP has limited capabilities and it's design to collect the KPIs of your device/data source and forward the values to the central DataMiner Agent where you can view and manage the information. From the central DataMiner Agent, you can also set a value through the DMP.
If you would use a (small?) DataMiner Agent on the remote sites, I don't expect a problem to forward SNMP traps through the 'other' NIC port.
About your third question, if you can use a DMP for the remote sites (and not a DMA) with an extra license fee (to enable SNMP trap forwarding), I want to advise you to contact the sales responsible.
Thank you very much for nice explanation
