Re: VMWorkstation 9.0.1 and SNMP Port UDP 161

Hi mdula,

Did you check what you could see with tcpdump inside the CentOS guest?  I did a quick test here and have no problem getting udp/161 through a bridged connection here on either Workstation 9 or Fusion 5.  I used "socat" to test:

In the CentOS 5.8 x86-64 VM, I set up a UDP case-changing "server" thusly:

   socat exec:'tr [A-Za-z] [a-zA-Z]' udp4-recvfrom:161

and then I ran the following "client" (Debian 6 amd64) across the bridged network connection:

   $ echo 'UPPERCASE lowercase' | socat udp4-sendto:server.ip.ad.dr:161

   uppercase LOWERCASE

   $

I also had tcpdump running within the CentOS guest, monitoring the communication:

   # tcpdump -Ai eth0 udp port 161

and I could see the incoming and outgoing packets nicely.

Cheers,
