Our NMS is getting hit by lots of
Authentication failure traps from our Cisco devices as IT insist on snmp polling our entire network.
To stop this I have put an ACL on the snmp-server community line. ie
access-list 58 permit z.z.z.z 0.0.0.255
access-list 58 permit y.y.y.y 0.0.0.255
access-list 58 permit x.x.x.x 0.0.3.255
snmp-server community ****** RO 58
snmp-server community ****** RW 58
This seems to have stopped some of the devices from sending authentication failure traps to our NMS but others are still sending traps although the snmp requester should be getting dropped by the ACL (particularly 7200's and cat4500) seem to ignoring this
Is there any known reason why this would be happening
