Switch behind firewall

[lahteenj]

Hi

I have a few switches behind a firewall I can do SNMP queries to them but the ping is diabled.

The problem is that when i add the switch to SIM i comes up as critical. I have a task hardware status poll that uses SNMP for the specific ip:s but that disabled it still comes upp as critical after i have added it to SIM.

How should i set up status polling on the switch so that it uses only SNMP. on the Global protocoll setting ping is always enabled either icmp or tcp is there a way around this. I would not like to enable ping through the firewall.

Regards
