Description

According to the SNMPv2-MIB, the following input is accepted for the sysLocation OID:

sysLocation OBJECT-TYPE
    SYNTAX      DisplayString (SIZE (0..255))
    MAX-ACCESS  read-write
    STATUS      current
    DESCRIPTION
            "The physical location of this node (e.g., `telephone
            closet, 3rd floor').  If the location is unknown, the value
            is the zero-length string."
    ::= { System 6 }

i.e. a free-form textual string. The current code is blacklisting all \W ([A-Za-z0-9_]) class of characters.
