Modifying variables#
SET string and integer scalars (SNMPv2c)#
Perform SNMP SET operation with the following options:
with SNMPv2c, community ‘public’
over IPv4/UDP
to an Agent at demo.pysnmp.com:161
for OIDs in string form and values in form of pyasn1 objects
This script performs similar to the following Net-SNMP command:
$ snmpset -v2c -c public -ObentU demo.pysnmp.com 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.1 s ‘New description’ 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.4.1 t 12
