You can configure the router so that it only responds to SNMP requests from certain hosts: snmp-server community not_public RO 2 That configures a router to have a community string of not_public, and also to look at access list 2 when it tries to decide whether or not to respond to SNMP requests. That's assuming the router or the firewall aren't blocking SNMP traffic altogether, and that SNMP is configured to run on the router at all. It's often good to check these things as occasionally you find a surprise. :) --Michael -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
