[lug] snmpset syntax question

[charles at lunarmedia.net]

right up front, i'll say that this is more of a cisco/snmp question than
anything to do with linux. however, i'm writing in the hopes that someone
can try out this syntax and let me know if they get the same results as i
do. i certainly dont see any syntax errors in my snmpset statement, so i'm
starting to question my snmp utils

redhat-7.1
ucd-snmp-4.2-12
ucd-snmp-utils-4.2-12

sorry to be so verbose...

i've written a utility which provides a front end for managing router
configs through snmp using: conf net, wr mem, and wr net.
as of 12.x code however, the oid associated with each of these functions
have become deprecated, and instead a new group of oid have been
distributed by cisco to do the job. although cisco's documentation is well
done and fairly straightforward, i am finding an issue with one of the oid
groups.

the documentation i am referring to is located at:

  http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/477/SNMP/copy_configs_snmp.shtml

my issues comes up with the oid for specifying an ip address of the remote
tftp server. cisco's description of it is as follows:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.5.<Random number> ipaddress "<server ip
address>"

however, when i run:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.5.107 ipaddress 10.6.21.1

i am given the following response:

Error in packet.
Reason: (badValue) The value given has the wrong type or length.
Failed object: enterprises.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.5.107

it seems to imply that the 10.6.21.1 value is in an incorrect format.

to clear up any initial inquiries into how i am running this...

 - i am running this with the proper snmpset syntax
   'snmpset -c private <hostname> oidstring'

 - i have ensured that my rw string value is correct

 - i am running this after the required ccCopySourceFileType or
   ccCopyDestFileType values have been set.

i appreciate your help on this as it has really become a thorn in my side

thanks! -charles
