At a minimum, bad etiquite. I helped arrange an enterprise number of our
own so we wouldn't get into such issues. The better behaved people use
subtrees under that.
A few years ago someone appropriated 1919 (Deutscher Wetterdienst) for
firewall traps they were generating. IIRC this may have been in part
CheckPoint's fault.
I objected and they started using 2620 (CheckPoint) which was more
reasonable, but still wrong.
Now we get a mixture of traps with enterprise 1919 and 2620 with OIDs
under either of them, depending on when boxes last had the config updated.
So what happens if CheckPoint decide to generate this specific trap? Or
we ever run trap generating software from Deutscher Wetterdienst?
