The contextName of an incoming SNMP packet must match exactly or partially the value of the instance of this object. The range is an SnmpAdminString, 0 to 32 characters.

For the 5000 Series switches, the ContextPrefix value should be an empty string.

ContextMatch (Optional)

Specifies the exact or prefix-only match to the contextName for an incoming SNMP packet.
