snmpset(1M)		System Administration Commands		   snmpset(1M)

NAME
       snmpset - communicate with a network entity using SNMP SET requests

SYNOPSIS
       snmpset [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.

OPTIONS
       snmpset	takes  the  common options described in the snmpcmd(1M) manual
       page.
