Windows NT 3.5 SNMP Agent Responds to Incorrect Communities (130421)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q130421 SYMPTOMS
SNMP managers can get information from Windows NT 3.5 SNMP agents only if
the community name of the SNMP manager matches the community name of the
SNMP agent, or if the community name of the SNMP manager is empty (no
community name). However, if an SNMP agent matches the first part of the
name sent from the SNMP manager, the SNMP agent incorrectly accepts the
SNMP request.
For example, if the community name of the agent and manager are public and
public12345 respectively, the SNMP agent incorrectly accepts and responds
to the SNMP request.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5.
This problem was corrected in Windows NT Workstation or Server version 4.0.
