How to change the IPAddress with SNMP ?

[apolyxrono]

Hi everyone ,

I have an Access Point(3Com 7250) and i want to change its IPAddress using SNMP SET command. I tried to change it from the 3Com-private mib.The ASN syntax of this object in the MIB is :

netConfigIPAddress OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX IpAddress
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "....description...."
::= { enterpriseApIpMgt 1 }

But when i send a SET request (SNMPV2) i get this response:
errorIndex=1 , errorStatus=wrongType(7)

Does any one know why is that happening?
Is there any other way to change the IPAddress using the SNMP?

thanks

What snmp package are you using to do this ? And what syntax are you using if it is a command line utility ?
