NAME
       setany - set value of SNMP MIB-object

SYNOPSIS
       setany host community [ object  type value ] ...

   where:
       host      A hostname or Internet address
       community A community string
       object    An object instance
       value     A value to be assigned to object

DESCRIPTION
       Use the setany command to assign values to object instances.  The
       command sends an SNMP message containing the community string and a
       SetReqest-PDU requesting the value of the type specified by type to
       be assigned to the object by the agent running on host.

       Specify the host as either a hostname or an Internet address in dot-
       notation.

       The community string is a text string used by the agent to
       authenticate the request.  For the operation to be successful the
       community must be configured with read-write access for the agent
       running on host.

       Specify the object as either an object identifier in dot-notation or
       as an object descriptor using a text string.

       Types are:

       -i     value is integer type (e.g., 123)

       -o     value is octet string type in hexadecimal notation (e.g., "FF
              EE 12")

       -s     value is display string type (e.g., "hello world")

       -d     value is object identifier type in dot notation  (e.g.,
              1.3.6.1.2.1.2)

       -a     value is Internet address type in dot notation (e.g.,
              127.0.0.1)

       -c     value is counter type (e.g., 12345)

       -g     value is guage type (e.g., 12345)

       -t     value is time-tick type (e.g., 12345)

EXAMPLES
       The following example demonstrates how setany can be used to change
       the state of the loopback device.
       $ getmany myhost public ifOperStatus

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit status is 0 upon success.

       Exit status is -1 if there are errors parsing the command line.

       Exit status is 1 if the agent returns an error.
