RE: (ASCEND) Repost: Remote reboot of MAX via SNMP
You need a protocol analyzer. Cinco networks has one for NT/95.

No, I haven't done a trace - how can I do one?
The error that comes back is:
"Request rejected by node for variable sysReset.0"
As a matter of fact, I get the the same error for reads of
variables:
sysAbsoluteCurrentTime
sysReset
sysLoadName
sysAuthPreference
However, I can get variables ABOVE those like:
sysSecsSinceStartup
sysMibVersionNum
sysMibMinorRevNum
etc
I made sure I have my SNMP station's IP address listed as a
write manager to this node but it doesn't seem to make any
difference. I also turned 'security' off and it didn't make
a difference.
Do you think my SNMP program has mangled the MIB?
I'm running 5.0Ap23 right now - I was running 5.0Ap20 when
I first noticed the problem (I was upgrading the firmware that's
why I wanted to reset the unit)
