Jeff, Look at applying a filter on the interface to only allow SNMP on the monitored interface address.

Hi Jeff,
Why don't you configure a loopback interface which can only be accessed from
inside ? That way you can use SNMP and still have a save internet
connection.
Just out of interest, what are you doing with a switch on the internet ?
Thanks

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] Monitor Cisco Switch via Serial Cable
Has any one used a serial connection to monitor a Cisco switch? I have a
switch that I want to monitor by it is on the Internet and I don't want to
enable SNMP on the net. It is close to my WUG box and would like to monitor
the status of the ports and bandwidth used (MRTG?).
Any help would be great.
Thank You
