So what do folk do about this?Or someone could do a Tony Bates impression and collect the naughty SNMP prober data from various providers and post a weekly hall of shame report to this list. If there are a significant number of non-providers then this list could also be posted on a USENET snmp group and on a web page.
Data from our site would include a certain bi-coastal router vendor (who is not Cisco) that likes to use one of our class B networks for "internal testing purposes", and occassionally leaks their SNMP testing out to the Internet. Our solution was to block SNMP access from non-local sites, regardless of community string. It doesn't prevent the routers from logging the access violation, but it does prevent the remote prober from getting any useful information. Scott M.
