configure snmp ifmibifalias size

config snmp ifmib ifalias size [default | extended ]

Description

Controls the accessible string size for the SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) ifAlias object.

default	Specifies read-only access to the system.
extended	Specifies read and write access to the system.

N/A.

Use this command to control the accessible string size for the SNMP ifAlias object.

If you choose the extended size option, the following warning will be displayed:

Warning: Changing the size to [extended] requires the use of increased 255 chars long ifAlias object of ifXtable from IF-MIB(RFC 2233)

You can always configure a 255 character long string regardless the configured value of ifAlias size. Its value only affects the SNMP behavior.

The following example shows how to configure the accessible string size for the SNMP ifAlias to the default value:

config snmp ifmib ifalias size[default
