RE: [c-nsp] Bracket character in SNMP community string //

I tried this on IOS-XR 4.2.3 and it appears the close parenthesis is not permitted in the community string. It does seem to accept it if you surround the community string with double quotes, however. I'm unsure if that affects anything else, though. Give that a try.

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

Hi guys,

I've just tried to configured a SNMP community string in IOS-XR 4.1.2
without success I got the follow error:

snmp-server community %test&)

RP/0/0/CPU0:ex-RR1(config)#snmp-server community %test&)
                                                          ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

RP/0/0/CPU0:ex-RR1(config)#snmp-server community %test&)fasar
                                                          ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
RP/0/0/CPU0:ex-SISRR1(config)#

This community string was working well in regular IOS. Maybe that is a
bug, anyway have you experimented before that error? or maybe I'm wrong.

Rgds.
