SNMP agent information allows you to specify comments about the user and the physical location of the computer and to indicate the types of service to report. The types of service that can be reported are based on the computer's configuration.
These comments are used as text only. They cannot include embedded control characters.
SNMP must have this information to manage the enabled services.
If you have installed additional TCP/IP services, such as a bridge or router, you should consult RFC 1213 for additional information.
