Re^3: Pinging network devices and setting SNMP traps

most ISP's will will remove an ICMP filter

That is assuming that you are working with an ISP; large business tend to have their own network staff.

God forbid they don't have anyone looking over them, if that is the case you will end up with a monster because most of them will implement any security idea they read in magazine. They end up making the whole thing so complicated they don't even know how it all works; it is like spaghetti code with network devices.

I am not fond of our networking staff, can you tell... :)

Herkum: I had no idea you worked at the same company as me! Seriously, though, this is my first gig at a Fortune 500 company, and I am amazed by the networking and security configurations. Quite frightful. I would tell you where I worked, except that I'd hate to get fired. About all I could tell you is that it's a Bank, somewhere in America... --roboticus	[reply]
