[j-nsp] SNMP polling a logical-system without encoding it asLS/RI at community

Yes its possible, but the address/interface you poll should be part of
the routing-instance. E.g. interface fe-0/1/0.0 is part of routing
instance "ri1". The configured primary address on fe-0/1/0.0 is 10.0.0.5
and the community is "public". In that case sending a snmp request on
address 10.0.0.5 with community "public" will get you data specific to
routing-instance "ri1".

This feature is only supported from Release 8.4 onwards. Hope you are
using a release after it.

Thanks
