Reading Managed Object Values; Writing Managed Object Values - Dell S4048–ON Configuration Manual

Reading Managed Object Values

You may only retrieve (read) managed object values if your management station is a member of the same community as the SNMP agent.
Dell Networking supports RFC 4001, Textual Conventions for Internet Work Addresses that defines values representing a type of internet
address. These values display for ipAddressTable objects using the snmpwalk command.
There are several UNIX SNMP commands that read data.
• Read the value of a single managed object.
snmpget -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance | descriptor.instance}
• Read the value of the managed object directly below the specified object.
snmpgetnext -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance | descriptor.instance}
• Read the value of many objects at once.
snmpwalk -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance | descriptor.instance}
Examples of Reading the Value of Managed Objects
In the following example, the value "4" displays in the OID before the IP address for IPv4. For an IPv6 IP address, a value of "16" displays.
> snmpget -v 2c -c mycommunity 10.11.131.161 sysUpTime.0
DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (32852616) 3 days, 19:15:26.16
> snmpget -v 2c -c mycommunity 10.11.131.161 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
The following example shows reading the value of the next managed object.
> snmpgetnext -v 2c -c mycommunity 10.11.131.161 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysContact.0 = STRING:
> snmpgetnext -v 2c -c mycommunity 10.11.131.161 sysContact.0
The following example shows reading the value of the many managed objects at one time.
> snmpwalk -v 2c -c mycommunity 10.11.131.161 .1.3.6.1.2.1.1
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Dell

Writing Managed Object Values

You may only alter (write) a managed object value if your management station is a member of the same community as the SNMP agent,
and the object is writable.
Use the following command to write or write-over the value of a managed object.
• To write or write-over the value of a managed object.
snmpset -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance | descriptor.instance}syntax
value
Example of Writing the Value of a Managed Object
> snmpset -v 2c -c mycommunity 10.11.131.161 sysName.0 s "R5"
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: R5
