if the queue size was increased (Cisco might have even recommended this as a short term workaround), you may be sending packets for a long, long time...I don't personally want a plugin running for that long (webmirror and ike_check already run long enough :-) ).... >Is it common practice >to have SNMP open on routers? Depends on the interface really...many companies have SNMP open internally (hey, it's a great tool after SNMPv1...) and disabled externally... For internal scans, I have found myself running more and more often with authorized userIDs and SNMP community strings....you just find a *ton* more stuff....Mind you, Nessus is still a great tool for blackbox testing, but it really cranks up when you've got some credentials....
