5798.0. "Proteon: set ifadminstatus doesn't work." by HITIT::ELUMAR () Mon Dec 27 1993 05:19

    Hello,
    
    I'm running DECMCC V1.3 on ULTRIX V4.3. My problem is with the PROTEON
    router.
    
    SNMP setup is o.k. on proteon and community name and read-write access
    is also o.k.
    
    I can't set the INTERFACE 2 to DOWN or UP via command :
    
    MCC> set snmp router2 interface 2 ifAdminStatus = DOWN 
    
    it gives " INV-VALUE " error.
    
    I also can't do this via Iconic Map. In the Iconic Map I can see that
    "ifAdminStatus" is settable. All of the show comments work fine for 
    Proteon and the mib definition for Proteon shipped with MCC is loaded
    in the dictionary.
    
    Any help highly appreciated.
    
    Best regards and Merry Christmas.
    
    Nurettin.

	It's the agent which returns the "invalid value" error (badValue in the SNMP world). You should see the set operation working correctly on the Ultrix agent. Rahul.
5798.2	agent works on Ultrix & OSF	HITIT::ELUMAR	`Thu Dec 30 1993 07:20`	14
	Hello, SNMP agent on Ultrix is working fine. I can do SNMP sets to Alpha/OSF machines. e.g. I can set interface 2 (fddi) ifadminstatus to DOWN on an Alpha machine. But I'm not sure about the SNMP of Proteon, altough it gives good response to all show commands. Can it be that Proteon doesn't let this parameter to be modified ? Thanks for your reply. Nurettin.

	I've run into similiar problems with Proteon snmp agents. They don't always play by the rules (not that we do of course). I spent some time tracking down a problem dealing with mcc and ONEVIEW, Proteon's token ring manager. During the investigation I discovered that ONEVIEW only supported a subset of MIB-II; not all objects at the system level where available.
