When enabling SNMP, you can specify which communities are allowed read-write access. Further, you may specify an access list, which restricts which hosts may send SNMP commands using a particular community name. I think Cabletron repeaters and bridges can also be configured using SNMP. I don't know what kind of access control they use. Their non-SNMP remote configuration software (Remote LanView) requests a password, but I think it is only used to authenticate the user locally by the PC running the management software, not between the PC and the network devices. -- Barry Margolin, Thinking Machines Corp. barmar@think.com {uunet,harvard}!think!barmar
