Are you lot sure that this SNMP traffic really originates from your networks? 
SNMP can easily be spoofed. So far we noticed nothing in our logs and the only 
scans come from myself. I would rather guess that a script kiddie is on the 
lose again and tries to play with SNMP. Well it can be rather fun to scan for 
SNMP. The amount of open devices one can find is scarey, not to talk about 
community names like public, private and ILMI. I would have a look at the 
community strings used to see if its a scan or if somebody tries a Dictionary 
attack. The best option is however to implement access lists accordingly and 
use very strong Community names.
