1. Overview
------------
SNMP is a standard protocol for configuring and management of network
devices. Almost all active network devices support SNMP. Besides that,
SNMP is supported by many network applications and the majority of
operational systems.
SnmpSet allows one to change the values of SNMP variables on network
devices supporting this protocol and, in this way, to manage them.
Many different actions are realized by means of writing values to
variables. This can involve the changing of configuration parameters
of a network device and enabling and disabling different features
or executions of some certain actions. Thus, SnmpSet allows you to
uniformly administer different active network devices and network
programs.
The list of SNMP variables differs on different network devices. You
can see the list of variables, supported by particular hardware or
software, by using a separate tool SnmpWalk. To determine whether it
is possible to change the variable value, you should study the
documentation or run a test with SnmpSet. You can obtain the value of
any available SNMP variable by using the SnmpGet tool.
SnmpSet it is command-line tool which simplifies its use in scripts
and allows you to automate a large number of every day system
administrator actions. This tool supports IPv4 and modern IPv6,
allowing you to avoid difficulties when you upgrade network
structures. Besides that, SnmpSet, along with supporting a version
of the SNMPv1/SNMPv2c protocol which is not safe, also supports a
safer version of SNMPv3. This allows you to avoid violations of
corporate safety policies in the event you use it.
