[c-nsp] Bracket character in SNMP community string // IOS-XR

[omar parihuana]

Hello,

I've just found:

*CSCsq16921 Bug Details *

Principio del formulario

*SNMP Community-string rejects 'special characters' *

*Symptom:*
An SNMP community string which uses the '(' or ')' characters is rejected
in IOS XR.

RP/0/9/CPU0:YOK-P-C1(config)#snmp-server community te)ting ?
^ % Invalid input

*Conditions:*
Snmp-community string contains the characters '(' or ')'.

*Workaround:*

The issue can be addressed by entering an MD5 encrypted SNMP string


Rgds.
