DSSP Remote Forwarder is a solution for network managers to provide support for SNMP-based management spanning firewalls. It is an extension created originally for the Distributed SNMP Security Pack™ (DSSP), but it can be used with any SNMP management application built using SNMP Research's BRASS™ technology (Bilingual Request and Security Subsystem).
Many network operators no longer permit SNMP traffic through their packet-filtering firewalls for several reasons. Some include
For these reasons, network administrators tend to block all UDP traffic at firewalls. So, network managers have experienced problems when trying to manage a multisite network, or even a local network that spans routers.
Using DSSP Remote Forwarder, SNMP requests can be carried over TCP with Secure Socket Layer through a firewall to a DSSP Server or BRASS Server. The DSSP Remote Forwarder then sends the request to the SNMP agent's port. DSSP also gives firewall administrators the ability to perform filtering on source and destination port numbers as well as addresses.
Multiple DSSP Remote Forwarders can communicate with one DSSP Server.
