Precedence: bulk If your router responds to `snmpwalk router.isp.net.uk ILMI`, you probabally will want to do the following to disable it: conf t snmp-server community ILMI RO 99 access-list 99 deny any log (pick another spare access-list if 99 isn't available) If you dont, assuming your ios/hardware combination supports it, (most of the bigger routers do) anyone can do things like: `snmpset router.isp.net.uk ILMI system.sysName.0 s \ "ALL YOUR ROUTER ARE BELONG TO US."` Thats a harmless example. You can do almost anything with RW snmp. Warm Regards James -- James A. T.
