SNMP vs 1.1.1.1 (fwd)

[Michael Dillon <michael () okjunc junction net>]

I mentioned some of the thread re: 1.1.1.1 on portmaster-users because 
there seemed to be an implication that Livingston's Portmaster had a 
problem in its PPP implementation. Now I get a question that I don't know
enough to answer. Perhaps one of you could help this fellow....

Greetings,

What does SNMP and IP address 1.1.1.1 have in common(seen a few postings on this topic tonight wrt Ascend ISDN routers 
and Netmanage's Chameleon)?

I had a Sniffer on my 3.x.x.x subnet looking for a Portmaster problem when I noticed that I was getting SNMP get next 
requests from a device in another part of GE directed to my Portmaster on subnet 3.x.x.x with an address of 1.1.1.1. My 
portmaster's ethernet address was in that packet(i.e. 1.1.1.1) so I'm surprised.

What gives?
