I sometimes wonder why Wellfleet nee Bay nee Nortel haven't already taken over most of Cisco's market share for this reason given their almost total embracement of SNMP for configuration and management.
Well, could it be because Cisco routers _work_? :-)
Nah, that's because Cisco sometimes listens. And, yes, lets the lowly users to talk to their actual engieers. Or at least used to. (Hint - try to find who wrote some particular piece of code in Nortel). --vadim

(Hint - try to find who wrote some particular piece of code in Nortel). Yes the trouble is trying to find that individual . (IE they nolonger work there :-{) And the next individual most familiar with that code area has their own ideas one what it should be doing which is at least 90-Degree's to what the original coder had in mind .
That aside I was highly impressed with their use of the MIB's as command line setable variables . But WOW try typing one of the longer ones just once & find you mis-typed it . They never have gotten a command line editor right :-{ JimL +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ | James W.
