Hi guys,
I'm defining the community name for SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c. I'm also defining the 
security name and authorization passwords in snmpd.conf. Now, I have scripts 
that call snmp commands. Now, since the community name and other parameters can 
change by configuration, I don't want to use -c in these scripts. I'm defining 
defaults in snmp.conf (defVersion, defCommunity). So, my question is, will this 
impact security? would external snmp requests make it's way to the device 
without verification of community name or security credentials because they are 
already defined as defaults in snmp.conf?
Thanks.
