The current platform supports SNMP V1, and in the next generation we
would be moving away from SNMP V1 to higher versions where you have
advanced security in terms of SNMP traffic
With Best Regards,

Dennis,
NO...your clients have a wireless device that has 2 nics...one for the
wireless side and one for the wired side.
The wireless side will not pass traffic to the wired side without it
being addressed to it (regardless of WEP).
You would have to put the device into promiscuous mode, and I have yet
to hear of anyone being successful with the sB device (can be done
though).
ONTO the SNMP/WEP issue brought up by Greg.
SNMP v.1 has always been known to transmit in the clear. Everyone
should know this. That is another reason why so many on this forum have
asked to move away from SNMP v.1. Yes...with WEP enabled you are
stopping 99.9% of prying eyes. Someone would have to do one of two
things:
1. Turn their wireless sB device into promiscuous mode (since the WEP
key is already in there).
2. Crack WEP.
Both are not trivial.

Would any user with a Bridge be able to run a packet sniffer and get
this?
