NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       snmpset [COMMON OPTIONS] OID TYPE VALUE [OID TYPE VALUE]...

DESCRIPTION

       snmpset	is  an	SNMP  application  that  uses the SNMP SET request to set information on a network entity.  One or more object identifiers
       (OIDs) must be given as arguments on the command line.  A type and a value to be 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 types it will do "The Right Thing".

       For example:

       snmpset -c private -v 1 test-hub system.sysContact.0 s dpz@noc.rutgers.edu ip.ipforwarding.0 = 2

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

       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 will be returned and a message will be shown, helping	to
       pinpoint in what way the request was malformed.

OPTIONS

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

	      n  NULLOBJ
	      o  OBJID
	      t  TIMETICKS
	      a  IPADDRESS
	      b  BITS
       Most  of  these	will use the obvious corresponding ASN.1 type.	's', 'x', 'd' and 'b' are all different ways of specifying an OCTET STRING
       value, and the 'u' unsigned type is also used for handling Gauge32 values.

       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 types it will do "The Right Thing".

       For example:

       snmpset -c private -v 1 test-hub system.sysContact.0 s dpz@noc.rutgers.edu ip.ipforwarding.0 = 2

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

       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 will be returned and a message will be shown, helping to
