I have 3 Cisco devices that are in DMZs behind a pix firewall. All 3 switches have the same correct community string, and they all point to opmanager which resides on the internal side of the firewall. All cisco devices on the internal network were discovered fine, and give accurate alarms. The 3 cisco devices that are in the dmz's however will not stay green. I have the firewall opened to all 3 dmzs from the internal network with static acls allowing udp and tcp 161, and tcp 162, and udp snmptraps to my Opmanager server. I have enabled debugging on the switches,.. and the snmp packets are clearly getting through the firewall and to the switches... please see debugging of snmp on the switch below:

The problem is that when i rediscover, or add a device in a dmz, such as the switch above,.. it will say that it was discovered successfully, and status will be green, within a minute it will be in a status of warning, and then it will be red and say that the device is down and not responding to polls... This happened on another dmz switch, and the device remained in a down status according to opmanager although it was up,.. but when i bounced an interface on that 'down" switch, opmanager saw the interface bounce and set off an alarm??? Very weird things,. please help.
