iDRAC private snmp enabled: how to disable ?

During a security audit I've found that even if I've changed the SNMP Community Name from the web console,

the SNMP agent still answer using the "private" community.

Here is a sample:

# snmpwalk -c public -v 1 192.168.2.101 system.sysName
no answer <- CORRECT

# snmpwalk -c *****  -v 1 192.168.2.101 system.sysName
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: RAC_5L***4J <- CORRECT

# snmpwalk -c private -v 1 192.168.2.101 system.sysName
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: RAC_5L***4J <- WRONG

Is this behaviour correct or did we miss something in the config ?

Many thanks.

Federico

Sorry, that is the nature of the beast on that one. I went round and round with Dell DRAC folks on that one. Can't be changed.

Thanks for the information.
From a first test it seems the private has no write permission, but I'm not sure.

In any case this is for me a big security problem.

Bye
