Configuring SNMP Packet Size

The SNMP server must support a PDU with an upper limit of 484 bytes or greater. There is no need to coordinate the maximum packet size across the entire network. Many requests and responses tend to be smaller than the maximum value.

snmp-server packetsize

• Use to set the SNMP server’s maximum packet size.
• Increase this value to improve the efficiency of the GetBulk operation.
• Example

  host1(config)#snmp-server packetsize 1000

• Use the no version to set the SNMP packet size to the default maximum size, 1500 bytes.
• See snmp-server packetsize.
