Guys,

I created a new file snmpd.conf with the following lines below (renamed snmpd.conf file that came with the isntall). Any security hole? On the firewall, I added the entries to accept from the IPs below.
OS is Centos 5.5 with net-snmp installed.
*** snmp.conf ****

rocommunity MyCommunityName 192.168.xxx.1

rocommunity MyCommunityName 192.168.xxx.2

rocommunity MyCommunityName 192.168.xxx.3

Do you face any problem or error?

If you want to use secure snmp then you can try snmpv3.

Regards,

No problem or error (too soon to know). Just built this server for the web team to use soon.

your configuration seems ok. when you configure snmp use different community name instead of default(public). (i assume MyCommunityName is your community name).

Regards,

Yes, it is my own community name.

Thanks for the response.
