PCM 2.0 Telnet during discovery
I can take the measured risk of using telnet on rare occasions because the odds of someone intercepting session packets are rare but when PCM does it on a scheduled basis many times a day to many devices, the odds become astronomical. Mine is just a small network but I can just imagine the risk that larger install bases will face. Large networks present greater opportunities for traffic to be intercepted.
I also monitor for (log) and alert on telnet access but not all switch models (like the 2524) return the source IP, so I cannot filter out PCM telnet from other telnet sources. Also, my logs are now filling up with the "noise" of all these events that I need to parse through looking for anomalies.
Is nobody else bothered by this?

Re: PCM 2.0 Telnet during discovery
Of course, it could be because my discovery was not working because the CPU is being pegged by the sql piece :(

Re: PCM 2.0 Telnet during discovery
I can't imagine why PCM would need to telnet during discovery. My guess would be this is something else, maybe scheduled Config scan or another policy that you might have set.
But i am pretty positive that the Discovery uses SNMP.

Re: PCM 2.0 Telnet during discovery
During beta testing, I did pose the question to the beta team and while I generally keep confidential our discussions, here is the confirmation given to me.
Yes, PCM will telnet to its managed devices several times a day due the various phases of discovery. Some of these discovery phases use a CLI session to access the data they are collecting because it is not available via SNMP.
I am positive that the Discovery uses SNMP too, only not exclusively. You could of course, install PCM2 and see for yourself.
