snmpset(1M) System Administration Commands snmpset(1M)NAMEsnmpset - communicate with a network entity using SNMP SET requests
SYNOPSISsnmpset [common options] oid type value [oid type value...]
DESCRIPTION
The snmpset utility is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP SET
request to set information on a network entity. A type and a value must
accompany each object identifier. Each variable name must be entered in
the format specified in snmp_variables(4).
The type is a single character, one of:
i INTEGER
u UNSIGNED
c COUNTER32
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 equal sign (=). For an object of type OCTET STRING
this assumes a string such as the "s"-type notation. For other types,
snmpset interprets the data in the way you would expect.
For example, the command:
snmpset-c private -v 1 test-hub system.sysContact.0 s dpz@noc.rutgers.edu
ip.ipforwarding.0 = 2
sets the variables sysContact.0 and ipForwarding.0, as follows:
system.sysContact.0 = STRING: "dpz@noc.rutgers.edu"
ip.ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: not-forwarding(2)
If the network entity has an error processing the request packet, an
error packet is returned and a message displayed, indicating the way in
which the request was malformed.
OPTIONSsnmpset takes the common options described in the snmpcmd(1M) manual
page.
