SNMP Research at CA World
SNMP Research was at booth #369 for the CA World conference and trade
show from April 23-26, 2007 in Las Vegas, NV, at the Venetian. SNMP Research
focused on our Distributed SNMP Security Pack products and how these products
can be integrated seamlessly with CA eHealth®
and CA Spectrum®.
David Reid of SNMP Research and Joel Kaufman of CA presented a session
entitled “Support for SNMPv3 and Overlapping IP Addresses.” The session
was on Wednesday, April 25, 2007, from 2:45 to 3:45 in Galileo 901-902 rooms.
Featuring Distributed SNMP Security Pack and Related Products
SNMP Research highlighted our Distributed SNMP Security (DSSP)
product line. DSSP provides a clean interface for non-SNMPv3 managers
to access SNMPv3 security and management. It also allows SNMPv3 management
through firewalls.
The DSSP product line is made up of three main products: the DSSP Server,
the DSSP Remote Forwarder, and the DSSP Internet Management Appliance-RF.
- The DSSP products
offer a secure solution for network
managers and SNMP protocols in multi-site networks.
- The DSSP Remote Forwarder
supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 protocols;
uses encrypted TCP tunnels through firewalls; and supports AIX, HP-UX,
Linux, Solaris, and Windows operating systems.
- The DSSP Internet Management Appliance-RF
includes the DSSP Remote Forwarder pre-installed on embedded Linux platform.
Introducing the DSSP Internet Management Appliance-RF
SNMP Research recently announced the availability of the DSSP Internet Management
Appliance-RF, a new addition to the Distributed SNMP Security Pack product line.

Press Release
SNMP Research Announces DSSP Internet Management Appliance-RF
Knoxville, TN, March 7, 2007—SNMP Research is pleased to announce an
important addition to its Distributed SNMP Security Pack (DSSP) product
line: the DSSP Internet Management Appliance-RF. The DSSP Remote Forwarder is
now available pre-installed on an embedded Linux appliance. This appliance
can be installed on any TCP/IP network along with the DSSP Server to enable
SNMP traffic and management through firewalls.

press release.
By default, many network managers prohibit UDP traffic, including SNMP,
through firewalls. Some reasons include:
- Mistrust of UDP traffic packets since there is no source address verification,
- Disabled ICMP service across firewalls which might be used in a denial
of service attack, and
- Limited security features in SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c protocols.
The blocked UDP traffic can cause problems when trying to manage a multi-site
network or a local network that spans routers.
The DSSP product line provides three products that resolve these security concerns:
- DSSP Server provides non-SNMPv3 network managers access to SNMPv3 protocol for security and administration.
- DSSP Remote Forwarder provides a secure connection with SNMP managers
through a firewall.
- DSSP Internet Management Appliance-RF provides the DSSP Remote Forwarder
pre-installed on an embedded Linux appliance.
Like other DSSP products, the DSSP Remote Forwarder uses the SNMPv3 protocol
and encrypted TCP tunnels through firewalls. DSSP Server, with either the
DSSP Remote Forwarder or DSSP Internet Management Appliance-RF at the other
end of the tunnel, provides a secure solution to network administrators who
wish to use the SNMP protocols for monitoring and control throughout their networks.
