Set a descriptive string to a port

[ody_bikas]

Hi I'm trying to set a string to a port (port 14), I'm using scotty and tcl. I write $w set [ list [ list 1.3.6.1.4.1.437.1.1.3.3.1.1.3.14 "odysseas"] ] . Where $s is the session of snmp the error that returned was illegal object identifier "odysseas". I set 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0 (contact person) but I can't set this OID. Iwould appreciate any help. Thank you in advance

I have no idea the API used by Scotty. You should probably ask on a Scotty-specific forum. However, the OID you're specifying, swPortName, is only supported by Catalyst 1900 and 2820 series switches. It will not work on any other devices.

Is portName universally supported on all CatOS switches?

cisco.workgroup.ciscoStackMIB.portGrp.portTable.portEntry.portName.[mod#].[port#]

Yes, this MIB object is supported on CatOS devices.

Hi,

You can telnet to your switch/router and use the description command like the following example:

switch#conf term

switch (config)#int gigabitEthernet 3/4

switch (config-if)#

description *** Link 2/2 to MUN_BBL_F0_IDFB_SW01 ***

thanks
