Hi,
Thank you for the answare but I'm not very familiar with the SNMP protocol.
I downloaded from ezfive web site the "SnmpGet.exe" and "SnmpSet.exe" software tool for windows.
On my Netgear I added this user SNMP: 0.0.0.0 - 0.0.0.0 - public - ReadWrite - Enable (I use my neatgear switch on private network) (I tried also added private R/W community)
I launched these command:
C:\temp\SNMP\SnmpGet>SnmpGet -r:192.168.0.239 -v:2c -o:1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.10.1.4.3 -c:public

When I set value "1" (or 0 or 5 or another number) to OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.10.1.4.2 I received this error (my community setted on R/W):
%Failed to set value to SNMP variable. Not Writable (notWritable(17))
Is it possible that it is a firmware bug?
Is there a sample OID to test the read and write operation?

Have defined a RW Community string on your switch already? The default public is read-only... Of course random strings are it accepted, unless defined.
Note: This is not a Netgear specific thing
- TDevSwNov 11, 2024Aspirant
I configured different community and always with read/write options but the result is always the same.
I tried to read a switch info (OID) and the result is:
Value=GS716Tv3 ProSafe 16-port Gigabit Ethernet Smart Switch, 6.3.1.34, B1.0.0.4
