Hello Mr. Norimichi,

The coexistence provider is the
SNMP-COMMUNITY-MIB which uses the community
to map to the associated security name and
context engine ID. It does not use the source
address of the request.

Using the source address would further increase
configuration complexity.

Best regards,
Frank Fock
