SET command

async pysnmp.hlapi.asyncio.setCmd(snmpEngine: Any, authData: Any, transportTarget: Any, contextData: Any, *varBinds: Any, **options: Any) → SnmpResponse

Perform SNMP SET.

(RFC 1905 Section 4.2.5)

Parameters:

  • snmpEngine (SnmpEngine) – Class instance representing SNMP engine.

  • authData (CommunityData or UsmUserData) – Class instance representing SNMP credentials.

  • transportTarget (UdpTransportTarget or Udp6TransportTarget) – Class instance representing transport type along with SNMP peer address.

  • contextData (ContextData) – Class instance representing SNMP ContextEngineId and ContextName values.

  • *varBinds (ObjectType) – One or more class instances representing MIB variables to place into SNMP request.

Other Parameters:

**options –

Request options:

  • lookupMib - load MIB and resolve response MIB variables at the cost of slightly reduced performance. Default is True.

Returns:

  • errorIndication (str) – True value indicates SNMP engine error.

  • errorStatus (str) – True value indicates SNMP PDU error.

  • errorIndex (int) – Non-zero value refers to varBinds[errorIndex-1]

  • varBinds (tuple) – A sequence of ObjectType class instances representing MIB variables returned in SNMP response.

Raises:

pysnmp.error.PySnmpError – Or its derivative indicating that an error occurred while performing SNMP operation.
