snmpset cmds failing

[jeff.bankston]

Greetings.

I'm trying to use snmpset commands to perform a tftp action whereby I download a copy of the router's config to my tftp server. I've created a linux shell script to do this, and it all works except for the last line where I kick off the tftp action. The target is a Cisco 3640 running 12.2.28a IP Plus code, and I've verified that this code supports the desired actions.

Below is the script:

-----

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.2.666 i 1

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.3.666 i 1

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.4.666 i 3

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.6.666 s warehouse.txt

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.5.666 a 10.30.104.95

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.666 i 4

----------------------------------------

when the last line runs, I get the following error message:

Error in packet.

Reason: inconsistentValue (The set value is illegal or unsupported in some way)

Failed object: SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.666

Can anyone please guide me to an answer? This is my first shot at doing this, our CiscoWorks won't be online for several months and I really need to get this working.

Thanks, Jeff

If you are issuing the commands on separate lines, you need to create (and wait) the row first and then activate it.

In other words, try these:

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.666 i 5

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.2.666 i 1

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.3.666 i 1

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.4.666 i 3

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.6.666 s warehouse.txt

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.5.666 a 10.30.104.95

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.37 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.666 i 1

your changes got me _very_ close, close enough in fact that I saw what else I was doing wrong. The code below works perfectly to pull the running config. I had to change the 1.1.3 option to 4 so it'd pull the running config.

--------------------------

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.666 i 5

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.2.666 i 1

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.3.666 i 4

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.4.666 i 1

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.5.666 a 10.30.104.95

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.6.666 s warehouse.txt

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.666 i 1

/usr/bin/snmpget -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.10.666

/usr/bin/snmpset -c mycommunity -v 2c 10.255.3.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.666 i 6

Thanks for the help, I thought I'd share my completed shell script with you so that others may benefit from our work and your great help.
