Yes. It needs more than just defining a MIB, of course - you also have to write the code to actually *implement* that MIB. And handling SET requests is somewhat more tricky than simply reporting the current configuration via GET* requests. But it's certainly possible to do this with a little care. > 2 - Change values of configuration the system? Example: change inet > addresses in select device. Again, this is perfectly practical in principle. Fiddling with network addressing has some obvious dangers, of course - not least the ability to report back success (or failure!) having changed the network addresses. But the SNMP framework would allow you to change almost anything, given suitable code. I haven't checked recently, but the Net-SNMP agent is probably more concerned with reporting configuration than manipulating it - there's relatively few writable MIB object supported in the code. But this situation is slowly improving, and you are more than welcome to assist.
