Usage Guidelines

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.
