What SNMP tool are you using to perform the set?

thanks for reply sir!

I installed snmpd on my PC and net-snmp tool. i am using Debian(Ubuntu 9.10) linux.
I am able to read it but could not write because its Access is set to Read-only,

as i searched and concluded that, no body can not change Standard/RFC MIB files which located at /usr/shares/snmp/mibs path.

I also studied that, MIB files only describe the Objects and dont define it.
for non standard MIB, private branch under internet is used by Cisco and other Firms for their own MIBS.

let me share what i was thinking to create my own mib but that did not work anyway.
I was thinking to create my own MIB by following Standard mib under private branch and then compile it and load it in net-snmp but i could not.
and another issue is MIB books and Designer softwares are licensed, unable to find a free book or free software for it.


Plz share your knowledge and guide me what i should do to fulfill my task.
Thanks

Not sure I understand. You are trying to set modify an SNMP object that is defined as a read-only object in the MIB where it is defined?

Sir!
As i am beginners, so i started a easy task,and now i am stuck at one point and could not find out the solution.

i created a private MIB with an object(purpose of it to just Display String when snmpget invoked in terminal).

i generated .c and .h files using mib2c and mib2c.scalar.conf. i compiled source code of NET-snmp with new MIB and compiled it successfully!

snmptranslate command wokrs fine but when i run snmoget command, i got object is unknown, can you guide me in this concern plz.

Thanks
