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.
