Title: Message

Hi folks,

I am new to this SNMP funda and I hope,I will get my problems solved by your valuable help...

The Problem I am facing is ,I am not able to set the data in my local machine..

 

I have installed net-snmp version 5.1.1

 

I am giving the following command

 

snmpset -v 2c -c public localhost sysContact.0 s "Jimmy"

 

and I am getting the following error

 

Error in packet.
Reason: notWritable (that object does not support modification)
Failed object: .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0

 

and I tried by giving the OID also,like this

 

snmpset -v 2c -c public localhost 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 s "Jimmy"

 

but getting the same error.

 

but for the same MIB, I am able to set the sysName ,which works fine .like

 

snmpset -v 2c -c public localhost sysName.0 s "manjunk"

 

which works fine with OID also,as

 

snmpset -v 2c -c public localhost .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 s "manjunk"

 

both sysName and sysContact are readwrite objects...

 

and before posting this mail ,i have referred to archives and got the following link... http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/irc/net-snmp.log.2003-3-10.html

 

but ,they didnt give solution to the problem..

 

Our snmpd.conf file looks as shown below

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

com2sec local localhost public
com2sec mynetwork 10.116.20.0/24 public
