Usage Guidelines

By default, the maximum length of the SNMP packet that the SNMP agent receives and sends is 12000 bytes.

Usage Scenario

If a host that does not support packet fragmentation exists on a network, oversized SNMP packets are discarded. To solve this problem, run the snmp-agent packet max-size to set the maximum length of the SNMP packet that the SNMP agent can receive and send.

Example

# Set the maximum SNMP packet that the SNMP agent receives or forwards to 1042 bytes.
