Solved: Admin Up/Down port using SNMP

Hi,

Can anyone advise how to shutdown and no shutdown a port on a cisco switch using just SNMP?

I can't find much documentation on it.

Cheers,

Ben

and then check the options under "SNMP MIB-2 Interfaces" The IfStatus is somewhere in there.

Then, find an application that allows you to do snmp set instructions, such as SNMPchttp://www.castlerock.com/

and assign a write community string to your devices. After doing all this, it should work!

Thanks - the exact MIB is:

IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus

snmpset syntax is:

Interface UP:

snmpset -v1 -c community hostname IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus.interface i 1

Interface DOWN:

snmpset -v1 -c community hostname IF-MIB::ifAdminStatus.interface i 2

Hope this helps anyone else trying to do the same.

Cheers,

Ben
