Just imagine if someone managed to break in and . . . but wait: All we did is use a router interface's IP address. No breaking in was needed. What can we do to tighten things up? Let's limit SNMP access to a single interface on the router, and a single host reachable through the interface. The interface will be LAN2, on fe-1/3/0 , not surprisingly. We'll use the LAN2 host bsdserver so that we can still use scli . We'll also let an administrator with root privileges on bsdserver make changes with the set request in the SNMP community (a sort of SNMP "password," but it's really not) called locallan . Almost all of this is configured on the router, not the host.The scli limitation to execute a remote set command is a function of the applica- tion.The following presents the new router configuration.
