Recommendations for Vulnerabilities

For SNMP recommended best practices for vulnerabilities such as, Multiple Vendor SNMP public Community String Information Disclosure, refer to: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/107186

Gigamon makes the following recommendations to protect against SNMP vulnerabilities:

■

Use the Gigamon ready-only community string (gigamon) to send traps and informs.

■

Disable the default public community string.

■

Use SNMPv3 to send traps and informs.

■

Use a different port number from the default (162).
