managing Cisco Switches

Hi!
With SNMP disabled, you can only ping the switches to check if they are alive. But why you cannot enable SNMP? You can use SNMP version 3 with AES encryption. If only read access allowed, and only via encrypted SNMP v3, it should be safe.
Best regards,

After quick check on PCI DSS requirements regarding SNMP, it seems that it is only required to change default community strings/account names. Disabling SNMP completely is recommended, but not mandatory. We have several bank clients, and they pass PCI DSS compliance audits, while running SNMP for managing network devices.
Best regards,
Victor
