Hi All,
I am using Net-SNMP version 5.4.1.2
I tried using the net-snmp "set" command.
I am able to set the values of variables like "system.sysName.0".
But, when I try to set the values of objects in my MIB file, I get the error
:-
Error in packet.
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
This name doesn't exist: BDTMIB::bDTDisplayName.0
Net-SNMP site specifies the following reasons for this error :-
1. The agent may not be configured to allow write access to this object.
Ans : My 'snmpd.conf' file looks like :-
rocommunity public 127.0.0.1
rwcommunity npublic 127.0.0.1
The command which I gave was :
-> snmpset -v 1 -c npublic localhost BDTMIB::bDTDisplayName.0
Error in packet.
Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
This name doesn't exist: BDTMIB::bDTDisplayName.0
At the same time, the foll command works successfully:-
-> snmpset -v 1 -c npublic localhost system.sysName.0
I tried giving unique community name for the object like :
rwcommunity napublic 127.0.0.1 BDTMIB::bDTDisplayName.0
But, this too failed.
2.Many MIB objects are defined as "read-only" and inherently cannot be
changed via SET requests. Attempts to do so will typically be dropped
by the 'snmpset' command without ever being sent to the agent.
Ans: I ran the command as 'root'.
How can I know if the object is inherently "read-only" ?
If yes, how can I change it?
3.Of those objects that can in principle be changed, the agent may not
include the code necessary to support SET requests. (GET and GETNEXT
are much easier to handle - particularly for objects relating to the
internals of the underlying operating system).
Ans: I am using a straight forward 'set' command.
Since, I am able to set the "system" objects, I dont think that this is an
issue with the code for SET request. It might be a problem with the access
to the required MIB file.
Kindly help.
