Ruby-snmp annoying problem :(

Simple script (Should set Integer=1 into device)

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
require ‘rubygems’
require ‘snmp’
include SNMP

manager = Manager.new(:Host => ‘10.20.9.53’)
varbind = VarBind.new(“1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.1.3.0”, Integer(1))
manager.set(varbind)
manager.close

Result:
warbird soaftp # ./lo.rb
[cut crap]
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/snmp-0.5.1/lib/snmp/manager.rb:264:in
`set’: host 10.20.9.53 not responding (SNMP::RequestTimeout)
from ./lo.rb:8

This looks like lie to me :
warbird soaftp # ping 10.20.9.53
10.20.9.53 is alive
warbird soaftp #
Using snmpset from net-snmp package I’m able to set this value…

Get is OK but I’m not able to create working version of set :frowning:

Help please :slight_smile:

manager.close

Result:
warbird soaftp # ./lo.rb
[cut crap]
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/snmp-0.5.1/lib/snmp/manager.rb:264:in
`set’: host 10.20.9.53 not responding (SNMP::RequestTimeout)
from ./lo.rb:8

Try this:
manager = SNMP::Manager.new(:Host => ‘10.20.9.53’, :Version => :SNMPv1,
:Community => !!you community here!!)

Tried to set a an Integer data type as defined above. However, SET not
sucess and getting error as

Can anybody help me what is the issue?

Thanks in advance

Looks like line 28 is passing a number somewhere rather than a string.

As this is a mailing list, I have no idea what “above” is.

C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/snmp-1.1.0/lib/snmp/varbind.rb:599:in

Pay attention to the above error. It says that what you are applying
the method encode to is a Fixnum, a number.

All the rest of the stacktrace is probably unnecessary to post.

Help please :slight_smile:

try:

varbind = VarBind.new(“1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.1.3.0”, Integer.new(1))
