You can perform a snmpwalk from the new server to your F5 box and test the results. Make sure there is no Access list or any firewall rule blocking this access. Either in the network on on F5. If you take care of this, I guess you should be good to test the new server without configuring it on the Big-IP platform.

Hi Vik, thanks a lot for your reply. unfortunatly we can not do it that way becasue the Firewall just permit the traffic from the F5 towrdas the NMS and not from the NMS to the F5. thats' why i wonder if there's a way to test it from the F5. Regards, Gab
