Abstract
A server system may be configured to receive configuration information. The server system may also be configured to determine if the configuration information includes SNMP configuration information. The server system may be further configured to disable SNMP activity and close an SNMP port if it determines that the configuration information does not include SNMP configuration information. Therefore, in the absence of any configuration information which specifies that SNMP should be available, SNMP activity is disabled and the SNMP port is closed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a server, configuration information;
- determining, by the server, if the configuration information includes simple network management protocol (SNMP) configuration information;
- and
- disabling, by the server, SNMP activity and closing an SNMP port if the server determines that the configuration information does not include SNMP configuration information.
A computer program product, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium comprising code to perform the steps of:
- receiving configuration information;
- determining if the configuration information includes SNMP configuration information;
- and
- disabling SNMP activity and closing an SNMP port if the configuration information does not include SNMP configuration information.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to execute the steps of:
- receiving configuration information;
- determining if the configuration information includes SNMP configuration information;
- and
- disabling SNMP activity and closing an SNMP port if the configuration information does not include SNMP configuration information.
