The whole point of international standards is that they are *standard* - you cannot change them unilaterally. But most of these objects simply reflect the current hardware configuration of the system. It wouldn't make sense to write to them. You can't insert a new interface card into a box by simply sending an SNMP SET request. For those situations where it is meaningful to configure the behaviour in software (such whether an interface is up or down) typically *are* writeable, so you might well be able to manage them via SNMP. I think you need to be a lot clearer about what you mean by "manage gateways and routers". I suggest you draw up a detailed list of the precise tasks you wish to perform. > I want to modify the routing table.... is sort of there, but is still a bit vague. > .... and change the ip of one host. is closer (though an IP address is really associated with an interface, not a host). You should be able to handle both of these via SNMP. As I suggested yesterday, try applying a suitable change manually, and compare the SNMP settings before and afterwards, to see what is affected.
