 Name

    setany - program to retrieve and set variables in an SNMP entity

 Syntax

    setany entityaddr "communityname"
    ["variable name" -<i/o/d/a/c/g/t/s/n> value] ...

 Description

    setany does a GET request to get the current values of the variables to
    be set, then performs a SET request on the variables.  The arguments are
    the entity name or address in internet dot notation, the community name
    for access to the SNMP entity, and a triplet for each variable to be set
    consisting of: the variable name in dot notation, an 'i', 'o', 'd', 'a',
    'c', 'g', 't', 's', or 'n' preceded by a dash to indicate if the
    variable's value is being given as an integer, an octet string (in hex
    notation), an object identifier (in dot notation), an IP address (in dot
    notation), a counter, a gauge, time-tick, a string, or null followed by
    the value.  For example:

            setany 128.169.1.1 suranet0 "ifAdminStatus.2" -i 3

    This sets the administrative status of interface 2 to 3 (down).

    The actions that take place during a SET request are that a GET request
    is issued for the variable. The variable name returned from this request
    is used in the SET request.
