Not too surprising - the # is a comment character.
Try quoting the string.
rwcommunity "#<b>Hi!</b>"
This works as expected.
The same is *partially* true of communities that contain a space:
rocommunity goodnews badnews
will be rejected with "Error: bad source address" (trying to interpret
"badnews" as an IP address).
rocommunity "goodnews badnews"
will be accepted OK.
Unfortunately, the parsing of this later is broken, so
snmpget -c "goodnews badnews" localhost sysLocation.0
will fail, but
snmpget -c goodnews localhost sysLocation.0
will succeed :-(
I'll try and get this fixed ASAP.
