Proxy forwarding is the mechanism by which an application forwards the SNMP messages to the "real" agent. The proxy forwarder application typically acts as a intermediary between the manager application and the agent.
A proxy forwarder application performs translation of incoming management target information into outgoing management target information. The SNMP-PROXY-MIB (RFC 2573) defines the procedure for this mechanism.
The SNMP-PROXY-MIB module defines the MIB objects that provide mechanisms to remotely configure the parameters used by an SNMP entity for proxy forwarding operations. It contains a single table snmpProxyTable, which is used to define translations between management targets while forwarding messages.
