[rrd-users] Re: Default community string and SNMP

[Marek Dohojda]

Honestly that is not an easy thing.  The community strings are setup to be
security future.  You can of course run a sniffer and look into the packet
(the SNMP is clear text).  

You can also run something like nmap and look for the port open as well.  

The most default community strings are : public, private.
You can try these out first.

Can someone tell me what's the best way to find out if SNMP is enabled. I
think I can do this through getif. But how will I know what the community
string is? How can I find that out ? Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,
