The IP addresses of the hosts permitted SNMP access to the SAN management devices do not belong to the internal network.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
SNMP, by virtue of what it is designed to do, can be a large security risk. Because SNMP can obtain device information and set device parameters, unauthorized users can cause damage. Therefore access to a SAN device from an IP address outside of the internal network will not be allowed. The IAO/NSO will ensure IP addresses of the hosts that are permitted SNMP access to the SAN management devices belong to the internal network.
