With SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c, the community string tends to be regarded as a sort of password. It's wider than just "public" and "private" - "public" is fairly ubiquitous for "anonymous SNMP". The use of "private" is less widespread. But for proper passwords, encryption, etc - you really need to look at SNMPv3 (assuming your network kit supports this). > I've understood I can't send direct orders to the router, but instead I > can set variables ... > > What I want is to reboot periodicaly (with cron) my router (this one is a > real wifi-shit) ... so I need to set the "time to reboot" parameter ... The first thing to determine is whether your router supports resetting via SNMP at all. Try talking to the vendor. It's more likely to be "reboot now" rather than "reboot in X minutes" if it's supported at all. But that's a big if - particularly if it doesn't also support SNMPv3. I'd be very wary of allowing my network kit to be reset via SNMPv1/2c. But talk to your vendor, to see what is or isn't possible. Certainly the list you gave doesn't include this particular feature. If that's all the router supports, then I don't think it will be possible. Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
