Setting down a router interface

[scolombo]

I need to set up/down a router interface via script to be scheduled.

Is it possible through SNMP ?

Can anyone give me the correct MIB path to do the task ?

Thanks

Not sure if it is possible trough snmp. your script would just issue the shutdown or no shutdown command for that interface. Solarwinds has a great mib brouser and mib walk utilitys. you can download it from tucows as a 30 day evaluation copy.

hope this helps

Yes, you can turn an interface up/down using SNMP. To administer an interface down simply set the value of:

interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifAdminStatus.N to integer value 2.

To turn interface Up, set it to value 1. Note N above is the number associated with the interface you are trying to control.

Hope this helps

Thanks.

Do you know of any snmp utility ( windows ) to do the task ?
