Set operations

Set operations set the value of data items in the SNMP agent.

There are two set operations for each version of SNMP.The snmpset form of the command uses the default port number to communicate with the probe, and the snmpset_p form of the command uses the port number specified in the command

SNMP V1 and V2c

The set operation for SNMP V1 and V2c that uses the default port on the SNMP agent has the following format:

$OMNIHOME/bin/nco_probeeventfactory -host probehost -port probeport snmpreq=setcommand hostname=destinationhost oid=oid type=type value=value community=community

Where setcommand takes one of the following values, depending on your version of SNMP:

SNMPSET
SNMPSET_V2C

The operation that specifies the port to use on the SNMP agent has the following format:

$OMNIHOME/bin/nco_probeeventfactory -host probehost -port probeport snmpreq=setcommand hostname=destinationhost oid=oid type=type value=value community=community port=port

Where setcommand takes one of the following values, depending on your version of SNMP:

SNMPSET_P
SNMPSET_P_V2C

SNMP V3

The set operation for SNMP V3 that uses the default port on the SNMP agent has the following format:

$OMNIHOME/bin/nco_probeeventfactory -host probehost -port probeport snmpreq=SNMPSET_V3 hostname=destinationhost userid=userid oid=oid type=type value=value

The operation that specifies the port to use on the SNMP agent has the following format:

$OMNIHOME/bin/nco_probeeventfactory -host probehost -port probeport snmpreq=SNMPSET_V3_P hostname=destinationhost userid=userid oid=oid type=type value=value port=port

Examples

The following example sets the value of the sysLocation object in the SNMP agent to First floor computer room. The command uses the default port on the agent and SNMP V1:

$OMNIHOME/bin/nco_probeeventfactory -host http://test28.example.com/probe/common -port 6789 snmpreq=SNMPSET hostname=probehost.example.com oid=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0 type=s value="First floor computer room" community=private

The following example also sets the value of sysLocation. However, it uses SNMP V3, port 4990 on the SNMP agent, and a user name of snmpadmin:

$OMNIHOME/bin/nco_probeeventfactory -host http://test28.example.com/probe/common -port 6789 snmpreq=SNMPSET_V3_P hostname=probehost.example.com userid=snmpadmin oid=1.3.6.1.2.1.1.6.0 type=s value="First floor computer room" port=4990
