Lol, whoops.... sounds like they took a page from the Linksys book when they
bought them.  They're known for hard coding the University of Wisconsin's
time server into their firmware.....  My friend had many a sleepless night
trying to figure out how to deal with hundreds of thousands of incoming
connections to that server, since part of their charter of the department
says they'll always provide some services like time to the public.......  Go
Badgers!

Nice fix, eh?
 
Cisco IP/VC Devices Have Known Default SNMP Community Strings

Cisco reported that some of its IP/VC devices contain hard-coded SNMP
community strings, which could be used to gain access to the products' SNMP
management and monitoring interface. Cisco has released an advisory that
states that no patch is available for the problem. The company suggests that
administrators disable SNMP on affected devices. In cases for which that's
not possible, administrators should block SNMP traffic to and from the
affected devices. More details and suggestions are available in the
advisory.
