7.2.3 Modifying Individual MIB Elements Using the Command snmpset
Provided it has the ACCESS attribute READ-WRITE, an MIB element can be modified us-
ing the Caldera Linux "snmpset" command.
The "snmpset" command has the following syntax:
snmpset [ options... ] entity_addr community variable type value [
variable type value] ...
The entity_addr, the community and the variable paramters fulfil the same functions as
those preceding the "snmpget" command. There are also a lot of options, but normally no
option is needed. The type set for the penultimate parameter (i, u, t, a, o, s, x, d, n) deter-
mines the format of the value parameter (see following table):
For more information on the syntax see the help text, when typing snmpset without any
parameters or type
man snmpset
For the command to function correctly, a few other requirements have to be fulfilled:
• The SNMP agent implements the SET-PDU type for this element
