Discussion: "Design and Troubleshooting"

Please respond to the following:

• The Chief Information Officer at your company asked you to restrict the read-only function of a requesting SNMP management station based on the IP address. Discuss the ways you can accomplish the request efficiently. Do you think network administrators should have the final say with regard to security, or should it be left to the business unit? Why do you think that? If it were up to you to write the policies, what would you do? Remember, there is no right or wrong answer; this is a question each company has to struggle with. It's important that you start to form your thoughts and feeling now.
