Not to sure about that, but you can add access lists to control who is allowed to use those SNMP strings snmp-server community abcd rw 50 access-list 50 permit 1.2.3.4 0.0.0.255 -----Original Message----- From: Kwame [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 09 January 2002 15:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SNMP Community String [7:31373] Is there a way to encrypt the snmp community strings? The strings are security holes since there are tools out there (I know of at least one) capable of deriving the RW strings, given the RO strings. Once the RW strings are known, you can download the config files and hack the passwords although I'm yet to see enable secret passwords cracked (I could be wrong).
