For quite a while I have been under the impression that the maximum v2c community or v3 username that I can use with snmpwalk is 32 characters. I recently discovered that that does not appear to be the case. snmpwalk with both v2c and v3 only seems to only work for me with a maximum of 21 characters.
For v3 I get the following with 22 characters: Error in packet. Reason: authorizationError (access denied to that object) For v2 I get the following with 22 characters: Timeout: No Response from 10.10.11.1 I tested with NET-SNMP version 5.2.5.1 and version 5.5.1. I looked more closely at the definition of SnmpAdminString and I think this is where my confusion came from: "Similarly, size constraints refer to the number of encoded octets, not the number of characters represented by an encoding." So I'm wondering if I am safe telling users that 21 is the maximum. Will this change in a later release, and if so how to I determine this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites. So do we.
