Hi Dave, Thanks for the reply.The VACM table setting are given in the snmpd.conf configuration file. If I want to disable the set access for the relevant MIBs then I need to make changes in the snmpd.conf for giving read only access and then restart the snmpd agent. I do not want to restart the agent though. Is there a mechanism to disable the set without a restart.

The only approach that springs to mind would be for the first application to manipulate the VACM tables to disable SET access for the relevant MIB regions before doing the GET, and then re-enable them afterwards. Or else have some form of out-of-band synchronisation between the gathering process and any active N/W management software. Ignore Ramji's comment about MAX-ACCESS - I don't believe that's at all relevant here. Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
