Restrictions
• The access server must have an Internet address assigned to enable the SNMP
agent.
• Due to memory constraints, only 80 characters are available for all community
names. That is, the total number of characters of all defined community names,
including 2 overhead characters for each name, cannot exceed 80 characters. If
you define a specific Internet address for a community name, the overhead for
that community name increases by 4 characters (to store the Internet address)
for a total of 6 characters. If you exceed the 80-character maximum, you cannot
define any more community names.
For example, if you need to specify 8 community names, each with an Internet
address, you would have to restrict the character length of each name to an
average of 4 characters (32 characters total). When this is added to the overhead
sum of 6 characters per community name (48 total characters of overhead), the 80-
character maximum is reached.
For example, if you need to specify 8 community names, each with an Internet

character maximum is reached.
Although the maximum length of any one community name is 32 characters,
using fewer characters per name allows you to define more community names.
Examples: DEFINE SNMP COMMUNITY
The following command creates SNMP community name “MONTY”, which can
be accessed only by the Internet host with a 195.1.1.60 address:
Local> DEFINE SNMP COMMUNITY "MONTY" ADDRESS 195.1.1.60
