735.0. "SNMP filtering and DECbridge 620" by YUPPY::HOUSTON () Tue Oct 06 1992 11:22

    
    Is it possible to configure a DECbridge 620 to globally filter IP
    packets (ie NOT forward IP packets on any port) and still be manageable
    via SNMP.
    
    In other words does the IP SNMP frame reach the SNMP agent on the
    bridge before the filtering on the brodge action discards the packet.
Thanks

    Yes.  This doesn't look like a safe thing to do in an IP network
    though.  (since you are managing with SNMP, I assume there's an IP
    network.)  For instance, you would also cut off SNMP management to
    all devices, including other bridges, on the other side of the
    bridge (wrt the manager).
