Hello Gang,

I hope of your here can provide an answer to my concern.  I have a netxms agent configured with SNMP Proxy mode on, but I don't see any tool set to request information from it ?

As of right now, my configuration is Server (configured with SNMP Proxy) and I want to reach a switch over the same network.  I poll all of the information using nxget, works very well.. but there is no tool-set like nxget that would enable me to connect via the server and request information from the switch ?

All your help is much appreciated.

Hi!

Yes, there are no command line tools for accessing SNMP devices via proxy. This functionality is intended for server to remote device communications. I never though that somebody will want to do this from command line :) It is possible to modify nxsnmpget/nxsnmpwalk tools to work via proxy agent. I'll add it to the list of feature requests, but I cannot promise exact version when it will be implemented.

Best regards,
Victor
