The SNMP Set action can be used to change values of asset identifiers (OIDs) in a remote SNMP agent.
Note: The community name, SNMP version, and port used used by Network Monitor to connect to an SNMP asset is set on the Authentication tab of an asset node. The asset node may inherit this setting from a parent node. See the Installation Checklist.
Parameters
Alarm number - The alarm count this action triggers on.
Connect to - Monitor host or Specific host. If specific host, enter the Hostname.
Host name - Host name or IP number. Leave blank to use the address of the asset.
OID - Enter the relevant OID.
You can specify either a named OID or a OID in number format. If you specify a named OID, Network Monitor tries to resolve it to its number format automatically when the field loses focus. Network Monitor uses the currently compiled MIBs to attempt to find the number format of the OID.
The [...] button next to the OID field display a MIB Browser dialog that can be used to select asset identifiers from the remote SNMP agent.
When the MIB browser displays an OID number with a @string it means you can use this string as part of the OID. For example the OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16@Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Network Connection can be entered in the OID field instead of identifying the index number of the network connection.
Value - Value to set.
Syntax type - Type of value. The value can be an integer or a string.
Credentials - Monitor credentials or Stored credentials.
Inherit credentials - If stored credentials is selected, the Inherit credential option displays. If checked, inherits credentials from the asset. If blank, enter action-specific credentials.
Domain or Computer/Username/Password - Credential used to authenticate access for this action.
