As David implies, there isn't a standard MIB to do this.
You'd have to implement it via a private MIB object.
But it should be possibly to use the UCD-SNMP-MIB::extTable
to handle this, by setting up a (dummy) "exec" line:
exec reboot /usr/bin/uptime
and then a corresponding "execfix" line:
execfix reboot /usr/bin/reboot
Then
snmpset ..... UCD-SNMP-MIB::extErrFix.{N} i 1
(where {N} is the appropriate index) should reboot the system.
But be *VERY* careful about your access control settings.
This *NOT* something you want to allow general access to with
the "public" or "private" communities. (Or probably any
Internet-wide community-based SNMP at all!)
