<h1 class="topictitle1">Prevent SNMP access</h1>
<div><p>You can follow these instructions and prevent SNMP access to your
system.</p>
<div class="section">If you do not want anyone to use SNMP to access your system, you
should prevent the SNMP server from running. Do the following:</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>To prevent SNMP server jobs from starting automatically when you
start TCP/IP, type the following: <samp class="codeph">CHGSNMPA AUTOSTART(*NO)</samp></span> <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <ol type="a"><li>AUTOSTART(*YES) is the default value.</li>
<li>Control which TCP/IP servers start automatically provides more information
about controlling which TCP/IP servers start automatically.</li>
</ol>
</div>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>To prevent someone from associating a user application, such as
a socket application, with the port that the system normally uses for SNMP,
do the following:</span><ol type="a"><li><span>Type GO CFGTCP to display the Configure TCP/IP menu.</span></li>
<li><span>Select option 4 (Work with TCP/IP port restrictions).</span></li>
<li><span>On the Work with TCP/IP Port Restrictions display, specify option
1 (Add).</span></li>
<li><span>For the lower port range, specify 161.</span></li>
<li><span>For the upper port range, specify *ONLY.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> <ol type="a"><li>The port restriction takes effect the next time that you start TCP/IP.
If TCP/IP is active when you set the port restrictions, you should end TCP/IP
and start it again.</li>
<li>RFC1700 provides information about common port number assignments.</li>
</ol>
</div>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>For the protocol, specify *TCP.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>For the user profile field, specify a user profile name that is
protected on your system. A protected user profile is a user profile that
does not own programs that adopt authority and does not have a password that
is known by other users. By restricting the port to a specific user, you automatically
exclude all other users.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Repeat steps 2c through 2g for the *UDP protocol.</span></li>
