Subject: a different view of SNMP The bad news is that very few people in the network management world, either within Cisco or elsewhere, believe this in any way. The only way for this to become real is for a significant number of major customers to demand this and make this a requirement of doing business with Cisco. When mo demands that Cisco do SNMPV3, they listen. When people start putting business on the line for this kind of thing, they will listen too.
I sometimes wonder why Wellfleet nee Bay nee Nortel haven't already taken over most of Cisco's market share for this reason given their almost total embracement of SNMP for configuration and management. Sure, they did leave a wide market niche for third party font-end tools that actually worked, but at least they embraced the standards! :-) -- Greg A.
