Re: snmpset password field?

[Benjamin Story <bstory@bullets.net>]

Generally SNMP "passwords" are the public and private strings by default.  Usually when you are doing a snmpset you need the private string which defaults to private, but should be changed on the device.  The command would be:

snmpset <ip_of_device> <private string> ...
