Anyone with a Billion 7800n use SNMP?

[PistolPete]

Hi all,


Come across a strange issue and I wonder if I'm alone.

Basically, I can't access SNMP on the routers LAN port unless I enable WAN access.

Don't really want SNMP available over the WAN port (I have set very strong community strings but that's not the point) so surely either I'm doing something wrong or there is a bug.

Anyone else got this issue?

Bearing in mind this is consumer level kit, it's probably by design. Just set up some firewall rules on the router blocking all access to SNMP on the outside interface?

Consumer kit or not that is pretty shocking design if that's the case!!
There is a SNMP enable tick box and an Allow WAN access tick box, so what would be the point of both tickboxes? It's an option to simply block via the firewall, but it's a bit of pain when it shouldn't be needed.
