I can not comment on this since I am not an expert in SNMP but I will raise this question with our people who are experts.
The problem I've seen is that things like 'setup' and other front-ends have been known to create a default of 'public'/'private' (not to mention network administrators have come to belive that this is just a matter of convention and mimic it, although I dont know if Cisco can be blamed for that).
Hey! Thank's for that! It is nice when you are not guilty!
If anyone knows of an equivalent to 'no snmp-server' for PIX, please share! I'm unaware of a way to completely disable snmp, and have had to live with simply assigning very very long random strings for the community in many implementations.
I do not know how to disable it completely but I will add this to my list of things to do. While on the subject, I am collecting things for which we need to have on/off switches (like 'no snmp-server') so if you people from the list do have any wishes in that respect send them to me. However, I will reject mails like 'we want all' so please try to be specific and be aware that I will ask for reasons why.
