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  accom­
        pany  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
 
        For example
 
        snmpset    test-hub    private    system.sysContact.0    s
        dpz@noc.rutgers.edu ip.ipforwarding.0 i 2
 
        will set the variables sysContact.0 and ipforwarding.0:
 
        system.sysContact.0 = "dpz@noc.rutgers.edu"
        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 vari­
        able.
