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,

  • Can DMP send the traps to 3rd party trap receiver.
    As Koen mentioned, indeed, it is possible to send traps from a DMP. However, the recommendation is to forward traps through the DMA
  • If yes, Can we do this also from other NIC port of same DMP server or computer.
    Yes. When you define a SNMP Manager, you will define the destination IP address. The routing table available in the OS will forward the trap through the correct NIC card.
