SNMP and NAT

I have read that when you NAT an address you can't do SNMP gets on that address, but I tried anyway and, sure enough, it doesn't work. But I can't see why. I don't see a hex equivalent of the IP address anywhere in the SNMP packet except for the destination IP address.

Any ideas?

There must be another problem. I NATed another address successfully. I used Cisco NAT, static . . . and there was no reply. It's as if Im using the wrong community string or something because the stupid router increments the "unknown community name" counter even though Im using the correct community name. Just for the heck of it, I set the RO to public and the RW to private with the same results. I may need to power cycle the box . . . which is in Tucson, AZ. I'll keep digging.

Yeah, right "go Vikes"
