NAME
     snmpset - communicates with a network entity using SNMP  SET
     requests

SYNOPSIS
     snmpset [COMMON OPTIONS] OID TYPE VALUE [OID TYPE VALUE]...

DESCRIPTION
     snmpset is an  SNMP  application  that  uses  the  SNMP  SET
     request to set information on a network entity.  One or more
     object identifiers (OIDs) must be given as arguments on  the
     command  line.   A type and a value to be set must accompany
     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
     Most of these will use the obvious corresponding ASN.1 type.
     's',  'x',  'd' and 'b' are all different ways of specifying
     an OCTET STRING value, and the 'u'  unsigned  type  is  also
     used for handling Gauge32 values.

     If you have the proper MIB file loaded,  you  can,  in  most
     cases,  replace  the type with an '=' sign. For an object of
     type OCTET STRING this will assume a  string  like  the  's'
     type notation. For other types it will do "The Right Thing".

     For example:

     snmpset -c  private  -v  1  test-hub  system.sysContact.0  s
     dpz@noc.rutgers.edu ip.ipforwarding.0 = 2

     will set the variables sysContact.0 and ipForwarding.0:

     system.sysContact.0 = STRING: "dpz@noc.rutgers.edu"
     ip.ipForwarding.0 = INTEGER: 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.
