snmpset

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

snmpsetSet the value of an SNMP object

Descripción

snmpset(
    string $hostname,
    string $community,
    array|string $object_id,
    array|string $type,
    array|string $value,
    int $timeout = -1,
    int $retries = -1
): bool

snmpset() is used to set the value of an SNMP object specified by the object_id.

Parámetros

hostname

The hostname of the SNMP agent (server).

community

The write community.

object_id

The SNMP object id.

type

MIB define el tipo de cada identificador de objeto. Debe indicarse con un único carácter de la siguiente lista.

tipos
=Tipo adquirido a partir de MIB
iINTEGER
uINTEGER
sSTRING
xHEX STRING
dDECIMAL STRING
nNULLOBJ
oOBJID
tTIMETICKS
aIPADDRESS
bBITS

Si se definió OPAQUE_SPECIAL_TYPES al compilar la biblioteca SNMP, los siguientes valores serán también válidos:

tipos
Uint64 sin signo
Iint64 con signo
Ffloat
Ddouble

La mayoría, utilizarán su correspondiente tipo ASN.1. 's', 'x', 'd' y 'b' son diferentes formas de especificar un valor de OCTET STRING, y el tipo sin signo 'u' se usa también para manejar valores Gauge32.

Si se cargan los ficheros MIB en el árbol MIB con "snmp_read_mib" o con la configuración de libsnmp, se puede usar '=' como parámetro type para todos los id de objetos, ya que se podrá leer automáticamente el tipo a partir del MIB.

Tenga presente que hay dos formas de asigar a una variable los tipos BITS, como por ejemplo. "SYNTAX BITS {telnet(0), ftp(1), http(2), icmp(3), snmp(4), ssh(5), https(6)}":

  • Usando el tipo "b" y una lista numérica de bits. No se recomienda usar este método, ya que una consulta GET para un mismo OID devolvería, por ejemplo 0xF8.
  • Usando el tipo "x" y un número hexadecimal, pero si el prefijo "0x".

Revise el apartado de ejemplos para más detalles.

value

The new value.

timeout

The number of microseconds until the first timeout.

retries

The number of times to retry if timeouts occur.

Valores devueltos

Devuelve true en caso de éxito o false en caso de error.

If the SNMP host rejects the data type, an E_WARNING message like "Warning: Error in packet. Reason: (badValue) The value given has the wrong type or length." is shown. If an unknown or invalid OID is specified the warning probably reads "Could not add variable".

Ejemplos

Ejemplo #1 Using snmpset()

<?php
snmpset
("localhost", "public", "IF-MIB::ifAlias.3", "s", "foo");
?>

Ejemplo #2 Using snmpset() for setting BITS SNMP object id

<?php
snmpset
("localhost", "public", 'FOO-MIB::bar.42', 'b', '0 1 2 3 4');
// or
snmpset("localhost", "public", 'FOO-MIB::bar.42', 'x', 'F0');
?>

If you setting hex values correct format is:
snmpset($source_ip,$community,"$oid","x","10 10 10 10");

The "type" parameter must be one of the following, depending on the type of variable to set on the SNMP host:

i    INTEGER
u    unsigned INTEGER
t    TIMETICKS
a    IPADDRESS
o    OBJID
s    STRING
x    HEX STRING
d    DECIMAL STRING
n    NULLOBJ
b    BITS

If OPAQUE_SPECIAL_TYPES was defined while compiling the SNMP library, the
following are also valid:

U    unsigned int64
I    signed int64
F    float
D    double

As an example, using "i" would set an integer, and "s" would set a string.  If the SNMP host rejects the data type, you might get the following message: "Warning: Error in packet. Reason: (badValue) The value given has the wrong type or length."

If you specify an unknown or invalid OID, you might get a "Could not add variable" message.  When specifying an absolute OID (one that is already resolved) that is completely numeric, prepend it with a period.  For example, an OID that could enable/disable Ethernet ports on an Asante hub might be "1.3.6.1.2.1.22.1.3.1.1.3.6.4.0", but you would need to use ".1.3.6.1.2.1.22.1.3.1.1.3.6.4.0" in the OID parameter so that the SNMP library won't try to resolve an already resolved OID.  Friendly, unresolved OIDs do not need the period prepended, such as "system.SysContact.0"

Note that there are two ways to set a variable of the type BITS like e.g.:
  SYNTAX        BITS {telnet(0), ftp(1), http(2), icmp(3), snmp(4), ssh(5), https(6)}

1. Using type "b" and a list of bit numbers like:
  snmpset('FOO-MIB::bar.42', 'b', '0 1 2 3 4');
with the disadvantage that the success is not easily verifyable as an snmpget() for the same OID would return e.g. 0xF8.

2. Using type "x" and a hex number but without(!) the usual "0x" prefix:
  snmpset('FOO-MIB::bar.42', 'x', 'F0');

If you have importet the MIB-Files into the MIB Tree with "snmp_read_mib" you may use '=' as the "type" parameter.
In this case the type will also be taken from the loaded mib file. (Octest strings will be interpreted like strings though)
Comes in handy for a more dynamic use of snmpset.
