907.0. "Can SNMP reset???" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Thu Apr 11 1991 14:52

    With our current SNMP AM V1.0 or later versions, Will it be possible to
    reset an SNMP based router.  Eg.  Can we reset a Wellfleet router with
    the SNMP AM.
    
    Can we reset our Ultrix systems with SNMP AM???
    
    Are the above possible with SNMP or must the router and systems be
    reset from their console itself.

> V1.0 and RESET

TCP/IP SNMP AM V1.0 only supports SET and SHOW to MIB I variables.
There are no MIB I variables that do the "reset" function (Reset in
SNMP would most likely be mapped as the setting of a variable).

> Beyond V1.0

There is nothing that we've found in the Wellfleet private MIB extensions
that would allow for a "reset" to be done via the SNMP protocol. The console
is it. Note that we have no control over this (it's THEIR agent).

There is nothing that we know about in the Ultrix SNMP Agent implementation
that allows "reset" to be done via the SNMP protocol. Whether the Common
Agent folks decide to add this functionality is not known to us. If they
support it, the DECmcc V1.2 TCP/IP SNMP AM will also.

    As Wellfleet routers support TCP/IP and Telnet, it is possible to
    connect to the console over the network and perform the reset
    function.
