Airport 2.0.4: How to Disable SNMP Access to an Airport Base Station (Dual Ethernet)

Networks managed by Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) have a potential vulnerability to malicious attacks, such as denial of service.

SNMP is a network management protocol that is enabled by default in the AirPort Admin Utility. AirPort Admin Utility 2.0.4 or later allows you to disable SNMP on your wide area network (WAN). To disable SNMP, follow these steps:

1. Connect to the base station via AirPort Admin Utility.
2. Click the AirPort tab.
3. Deselect the checkbox for "Enable SNMP access on WAN."
4. Update the base station.

Note: SNMP cannot be disabled on the original AirPort Base Station (Graphite).
