!!NAME


snmpset - communicates with a network entity using SNMP SET Requests.
!!SYNOPSIS


snmpset [[ common arguments ] objectID type value [[objectID
type value]...
!!DESCRIPTION


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


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


__i__


INTEGER


__u__


UNSIGNED


__s__


STRING


__x__


HEX STRING


__d__


DECIMAL STRING


__n__


NULLOBJ


__o__


OBJID


__t__


TIMETICKS


__a__


IPADDRESS


__b__


BITS


If you have the proper MIB file loaded, you can, in most
cases, replace the type with an '=' sign. For an object of
type OCTET STRING this will assume a string like the 's'
type notation. For other type it will do


For example


''snmpset test-hub private system.sysContact.0 s
dpz@noc.rutgers.edu ip.ipforwarding.0 = 2''


will set the variables sysContact.0 and
ipforwarding.0:


''system.sysContact.0 =''
''
ip.ipForwarding.0 = not-forwarding(2)''


If the network entity has an error processing the request
packet, an error packet will be returned and a message will
be shown, helping to pinpoint in what way the request was
malformed. If there were other variables in the request, the
request will be resent without the bad
variable.
