snmpEngineMaxMessageSize
Module: SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB
OID (symbolic): SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineMaxMessageSize

Description: The maximum length in octets of an SNMP message.
What is snmpEngineMaxMessageSize?
This object reports the largest SNMP message, in bytes, that the device's SNMP engine can send, receive, and process, computed as the smallest of the maximum sizes supported by all its underlying transport types. A management system uses this value to decide how many varbinds it can safely pack into a single GetBulk or response before risking truncation or a rejected message. For example, if this object returns 1472, the manager should keep each SNMP PDU under that byte count when polling this specific device.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.6.3.10.2.1.4 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineMaxMessageSize
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.6.3.10.2.1.4.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB::snmpEngineMaxMessageSize.1
