[f-nsp] CER - Creating VLANs via SNMP - cant set name?

[Jörg Kost]

Hi,

1.3.6.1.2.1.17.7.1.4.3 is read-only. Have a look at
1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21 instead.

snmpwalk -v2c -c $COMMUNITY $IP 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21
iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.123 = STRING: "TEST2"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.124 = STRING: "VLAN124"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.125 = STRING: "VLAN125"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.126 = STRING: "VLAN126"

snmpset -v2c -c $COMMUNITY $IP iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.123 s 
HELLOMYFRIEND
iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.123 = STRING: "HELLOMYFRIEND"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.124 = STRING: "VLAN124"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.125 = STRING: "VLAN125"
iso.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.3.2.7.1.21.126 = STRING: "VLAN126"


You can also take a look at some other tools than can configure advanced 
things via ssh or telnet or can inject whole configurations.

Some people use

Netmikto
https://github.com/ktbyers/netmiko

and there is also kind of official brocade client called clicrud

I did my own injection client a while ago to escape the python world.
