sure the router doesn't notice what you're doing to it :-)
I can have my router send a log packet to this
PC, so I can see what's going on.
You're describing SNMP, but SNMP and SMTP (email) are just two methods
by which a networking device can send its logs to an external device.
SNMP is disabled according to folks on ziggo forum.
Here is my question for you:
Is SNMP only used for "cable modem status page" ? for ISP side ?
Or is SNMP also used to access cable modem menu ?!
If later then this explains why I cannot access my cable modem menu anymore.
SNMP is a protocol that a networking device uses to gather information
about itself, which it then typically dumps into a local log.
Optionally, it can also dump that info to one or more external devices,
usually for the purpose of consolidating the logs of multiple devices
into a single, searchable, location.
SNMP is not used to access your cable modem or router. That would be
HTTP, HTTPS, or possibly SSH or Telnet.
