Q: How do i set a BITS oid using snmpset?

[r***@philips.com]

Hi all,

I've been spending some hours trying to figure this out. Its likely very simple, and i'm most likely looking right over it.

So far i've figured out that i get:

snmpset -m all 10.0.4.203 private docsDevEvReporting.warning b <OCTETSTR>

Questions:
- how to specify the value BITS? Can someone give me examples?
- Is there someplace a page describing this syntax?

met groet / Regards

Actually, you can do it by using text values separated by ','s. IE,
"OID b bit1,bit3,bit4"

For a SET?

snmpset -m all 10.0.4.203 private sysLocation.0 s "not here"

or snmpset 10.0.4.203 private sysLocation.0 x 6e6f742068657165
or snmpset 10.0.4.203 private sysLocation.0 d "110 110 116 32 104 101 114 101"

which should both be equivalent to Daves exmaple.

Wes,

example for a BITS? i KNOW how to do it for normal string. Problem is doing it for a BITS definition. What is an octet string?

snmpset -m all 10.0.4.203 private docsDevEvReporting.warning b 1,1,1

seems to work, but I am trying to figure out what an octetstring is. This in order to use in scripting.

met groet / Regards

An octet string is a string - hence my response.
This was obviously not what you were asking - sorry.

You know how to set a string value, and you know how to set a BITS value.
I'm a little confused as to what your question is?
