Setting MIB Values
The set command modifies the value of an instance. You set an instance by
specifying its object.attribute.instance. You may use names or identifiers to
specify object groups and attributes; use only an appropriate identifier or index
value to specify the instance.
Enter the following to change the value of an object instance:
set
<object>
.
<attribute>
.
<instance>
<value>
or
s
<object>.<attribute>.<instance> <value>
<object> is the required name or identifier of the object.
<attribute> is the required name or identifier of the attribute.
<instance> is the required unique identifier of a nontabular object, or the
“INDEX” value of a tabular object.
<value> is the required new value of an instance of an object. This value may be
one of the following, depending on the data type:
• Integer, unsigned integer types: decimal number
• IP addresses: dotted decimal format (for example, 192.32.0.0)
• Octet strings: hexadecimal number starting with 0x
• Display strings: string enclosed in double quotes
Refer to the Bay Networks MIB to determine the data type.
Note: When you enter the set command, the attribute is set on each running
processor module.
Note: The MIB uses the value of the “INDEX” in the “Entry” (.1) attribute of
a table object to define the <instance_id> of any entry belonging to that table.
The INDEX typically defines the <instance_id> by means of one attribute, or
by means of multiple attributes that together define the <instance_id> of the
table entry.
