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. _________________________________________________________________ Attention all humans. We are your photos.
