Uh, yeah. You could also lock down the SNMP service to your NOC subnet(s), etc.

I too have SNMP enabled on all 2011's. Should I be changing the community string to something other than public?

    Why do you say that?  How do you monitor them without SNMP?  You
    could certainly apply firewall rules to port 161 to restrict
    access if you are worried about DoS attacks or community string
    dictionary attacks.
    Is your comment specifically about the 2011?  I have SNMP enabled
    on all of mine.

    Anyone have a suggestion on an inexpensive but really good router
    that can handle routing 4 VLANs and OSPF? I need to replace my
    EdgeRouters that panic weekly. I have one at each pop.

    Thank you,
