RE: (ASCEND) I am screwed, right?
Thanks to all who answered my question. The method described below is
what was successful for me - I used NavisAccess to simplify. Luckily, I
knew the snmp r/w community string.
I guess this shows the importance of changing the default SNMP community
strings and even securing SNMP by IP address ;-)
Thanks again to all that contributed.
