Phil,
SNMP is a standardized remote monitoring and management mechanism for
network devices such as hubs, routers, bridges and as well as
workstations and servers. Therefore, any SNMP-capable management
station could be able to monitor and control any SNMP-capable network
device. The idea is that you do not want someone from the OUTSIDE to
be able to manage our network via SNMP. Hence, you should not allow
SNMP to cross our firewall.

What tools (PD or Comercial) are availible for monitoring a firewall
for performance/availiability from a remote station, while NOT using SNMP?
