NAME
       admsnmpobject - manage the snmpd object database

SYNOPSIS
       admsnmpobject -o get [ -q|v ] object

       admsnmpobject -o set [ -a value ] object

       admsnmpobject -o reset object

       admsnmpobject -o list [ -q|v ] [ all|[object ...]]  ]

       admsnmpobject -o supported [ -q|v ] [ all|[object ...]]  ]

DESCRIPTION
       Use admsnmpobject to manage the MIB object database.  The MIB object
       database is located in the /etc/snmpd.config file.  This database
       contains optional entries to specify values for MIB objects that are
       machine dependent.  Use this command to tailor the objects in the
       database appropriately for your system.  Each entry in the object
       database consists of an objectname, an equal sign, and a value.  Not
       all objects maintained by snmpd can be modified.  Use the supported
       operation to see a list of objects that you can modify.

       Most adminstrators only need to specify the sysContact and
       sysLocation objects because the agent can provide reasonable defaults
       for all other supported objects.

       get       Get the current value for the requested object.  If the
                 object is in the database the value is printed, otherwise,
                 the default value is printed.

       set       Set the object to the requested value.

       reset     Reset the value of the object to the system supplied
                 default.  This option removes the entry for object from the
                 database.

       list      List the current value for object.

       supported List the objects that are allowed in the database and give
                 the default values that are assigned to them.

   Options
       -a value  Use the value option to specify the value to be assigned to
                 the requested object.

       -q        Use the quiet option to produce an unformatted listing.

       -v        Use the verbose option to produce a formatted listing of
                 object value pairs with headers and aligned columns.

OUTPUT
       All operations write their output to stdout and diagnostics to

       stderr.

       If you specify the -v "verbose" option with the list, get, or
       supported operations, the object-value pairs are displayed in aligned
       columns with headers.

       If you specify the -q "quiet" option with the list or get operation,
       headers are suppressed and only the values for the objects are
       written.  If you specify the -q "quiet" option with the supported
       operation, headers are suppressed and only valid object names are
       written.  If you do not specify either the -q or -v option with the
       list, get, or supported operations, headers are suppressed, and the
       output is in an object=value format.

FILES
       /etc/snmpd.config             the MIB object database.

DIAGNOSTICS
   Warnings
        -  If the agent can not be sent a SIGHUP signal to request
           reconfiguration.

   Errors
        -  The  object requested is not one of the supported objects.

   Exit Codes
        0     The operation was successful.

        1     The operation was unsuccessful.

        2     The operation failed due to access restrictions.

        3     There was an error in the command line.

NOTES
       Access to the get, set, and reset operations is granted based upon
       write access to the /etc/snmpd.config file.  Generally, only the
       system administrator has this access.  Access to the list and
       supported operation is granted based upon read access to the
       /etc/snmpd.config file.  Generally, everyone has this access.
