Hi Letha, The error you are getting is
different from the error you will get if the object is present and is read only
but you are trying SET the object. In that case you will get error like "Not
writable object".are you able to do "GET" operation on it
? Instaed of using MIB name in "set" command use "-m
ALL" option if you still get the same error try using the exact OID of the
"bDTDisplayName" object.if this gives you the same error then look into your
Makefile whether you have compiled that object or not.On Mon, 25 Aug 2008
22:38:11 +0530 "Letha Jacob" wrote 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: BDTMI
B::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 ty
pically 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.
