20 Snmpset is an SNMP application that uses the SET Request to
21 set information on a network entity. One or more fully
22 qualified object identifiers must be given as arguments on
23 the command line. A type and a value to set must accompany
24 each object identifier. Each variable name is given in the
25 format specified in variables(5).

28 The ''type'' is a single character, one of:

30
31 __i__
32
33
34 INTEGER
35
36
37 __u__

52 HEX STRING

55 __d__

91 If you have the proper MIB file loaded, you can, in most
92 cases, replace the type with an '=' sign. For an object of
93 type OCTET STRING this will assume a string like the 's'
94 type notation. For other type it will do
95
96
97 For example
98
99
100 ''snmpset test-hub private system.sysContact.0 s
101 dpz@noc.rutgers.edu ip.ipforwarding.0 = 2''
102
103
104 will set the variables sysContact.0 and
105 ipforwarding.0:
106
107
108 ''system.sysContact.0 =''
109 ''
110 ip.ipForwarding.0 = not-forwarding(2)''
111
112
113 If the network entity has an error processing the request
114 packet, an error packet will be returned and a message will
115 be shown, helping to pinpoint in what way the request was
116 malformed. If there were other variables in the request, the
117 request will be resent without the bad
118 variable.
