Rules for snmp GET and SET strings -

[OFC_EDM]

I have to determine our snmp get and set strings for HP-UX, Microsoft and Linux servers.

But what are the valid characters for SNMP GET and READ strings?

All I know for certain is no blanks.

Did you mean SNMP GET and SET strings ? GET and READ are one and the same :-) atleast as far as I know.

/etc/SnmpAgent.d/snmpd.conf is where you set the GET/SET community strings. Looks to me, anything that is not blank will do.

Are you asking about the SNMP MIB information returned by HP-UX? If so, you can download the Net-snmp tool which has snmpwalk that will allow you to browse the available information. Get a copy at:

Ha ha yes I meant GET and SET strings.

It seems to accept various characters such as @#$! etc.

Thanks. And thanks for the tip about the Net-Snmp tools
