It applies to 12.0 and later, so testing it on an 11.x router doesn't
help.

It appears that 2500 are not affected.

The fix below doesn't work on 11.1 and 11.2 , you have to turn snmp off by
the looks.

have fun.

If your router responds to `snmpwalk router.isp.net.uk ILMI`, you
probabally will want to do the following to disable it:
   conf t
   snmp-server community ILMI RO 99
   access-list 99 deny any log
(pick another spare access-list if 99 isn't available)

If you dont, assuming your ios/hardware combination supports it,
(most of the bigger routers do) anyone can do things like:
          `snmpset router.isp.net.uk ILMI system.sysName.0 s \
          "ALL YOUR ROUTER ARE BELONG TO US."`
Thats a harmless example. You can do almost anything with RW snmp.

Warm Regards
James
