Checkrad behind the firewall

Hi !

At bare minimum, udp port 161 needs to be allowed to
communicate between the radius server and the RAS for
this to work, & possibly tcp 161 as well. Also if
your running a NAT firewall it will be a lot more
difficult/impossible to configure for getting snmp
packets through. What type of firewall is installed ?

Thanks,
