+NET-SNMP configuration
+====================
+
+Routers with a heavy amount of routes (e.g. BGP full table) might experience
+problems with a hanging vtysh from time to time, 100% CPU on the snmpd or
+even crashes of the frr daemon(s) due to stalls within AgentX. Once snmp
+agents connects they start receiving a heavy amount of SNMP data (all the
+routes) which cannot be handled quick enough. It's recommended (by several
+vendors as well) to exclude these OID's unless you really need them, which
+can be achieved by amending the default view from SNMP
+
+:file:`/etc/snmp/snmpd.conf`:
+
+::
+   # This is the default view
+   view all    included  .1 80
+   # Remove ipRouteTable from view
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.21
+   # Remove ipNetToMediaTable from view
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.22
+   # Remove ipNetToPhysicalPhysAddress from view
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.35
+   # Remove ipCidrRouteTable  from view
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.2.1.4.24
+   # Optionally protect SNMP private/secret values
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.6.3.15
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.6.3.16
+   view all    excluded  .1.3.6.1.6.3.18
