The SNMP Set event sends an SNMP set request to a remote SNMP agent.
Note: See the Schedules tab topic for an introduction to scheduling events.
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.
Event settings
Hostname - The hostname of the remote SNMP agent. This can be either a DNS name or an IP address.
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 of value. The value can be an integer or a string.
Inherit credentials - If checked, inherits credentials from the group. If blank, enter event-specific credentials.
SNMP version / Read community / Write community - Credential used to authenticate access and run the SNMP Set event.
