SNMP *can* be used for active management, using SET requests, yes It's probably fair to say that most use tends to be monitoring rather than management, and there are certainly limitations to what writable objects are typically available. But the basic SNMP protocol does support making changes to the managed system > If I want to change all objects like > > 1.ifconfig > 2.routes > 3.iptables. How should i proceed? Well the first thing you should do is to formulate your requirements more clearly. "Changing ifconfig" is too vague to be useful. You need to identify the exact changes you wish to make. I'd then suggest making these changes manually (using command-line tools), and examining the relevant MIB tables, to see what is affected. Then you can try applying the same object changes using SNMP SET requests, to see whether this has the desired effect.
