I've got a customer with a T1. They have been bought out by a large hotel
chain. They are pretty much demanding that they have SNMP full read access
to our router that is at their location as well as a copy of the config for
the router. This is not their router, it is ours and we fully manage our
router and hand them Ethernet. This seems a little odd that they want
access to our gear, and I am not too keen on giving them access unless they
are willing to accept some responsibility. They don't want to accept any
responsibility for the access they would have to this box. They say that
Verizion and AT&T don't have any problems giving them this kind of access to
their gear.
Any thoughts from the group
Well, from another angle, we've asked for - and been given - this access
from major providers without incident. At my current place of employment
we have a large MPLS L3 VPN provided by Cable & Wireless and we have
SNMP RO and SSH access on all of the deployed PEs. The SSH access is
command authorisation limited - there is no show run for example - and
we use C&W provided RSA tokens.
Telstra (one of our upstream providers) actually asked to have SNMP RO
access to our end of the BGP handoff.
