I recall some bay networks gear you could only program with the proper OID as the cli was basically a SNMP-SET operation on the device.
The mere mention of Bay Networks and Site Manager (read: Site Mangler or Site Damager) is enough to get my blood pressure up a few points, and I haven't touched that stuff since probably 1999 or 2000. The CLI was quite horrible, and their somewhat IOS-like command shell (BCC) was not much better.
Have you had a good experience with using SNMP-Write? I have not.
The most I've done using SNMP SETs is backed up configurations from network devices at my old job. That part worked (and works) very well, but I never tried pushing config changes out to devices that way.
