aren't security problems in your environment then
bounce snort.

Subject: [Snort-users] SNMP request UDP flood


I just installed Snort 1.9.0 on Linux, and have been
monitoring it for a few
days.
Turns out 99% of the alerts are the same alert
coming from our HPopenview
box,
They are choking my database, and still keep coming
in.

I have copied the alert below:

[Classification: Attempted Information Leak]
[Priority: 2] 
11/07-11:08:29.672350 132.235.8.77:36244 ->
132.235.8.0:161
UDP TTL:1 TOS:0x0 ID:35998 IpLen:20 DgmLen:103 DF
Len: 83
[Xref => cve CAN-2002-0013][Xref => cve
CAN-2002-0012]
[**] [1:1417:2] SNMP request udp [**]
[Classification: Attempted Information Leak]
[Priority: 2] 
11/07-11:08:29.686665 132.235.8.77:36244 ->
132.235.8.0:161
UDP TTL:1 TOS:0x0 ID:35999 IpLen:20 DgmLen:87 DF
Len: 67


Can anyone tell me how can I make Snort stop
generating this alert?

Thank you.
