What is taskName?

This is the name of the VxWorks task, settable only at task creation time. Admins use this to identify tasks meaningfully in the task table rather than by taskId alone, e.g. 'tNetTask' or 'tShell'.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.1.6.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DEVICE-MIB::taskName

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.1.6.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DEVICE-MIB::taskName.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.1.6.1.1.2.1 s <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> taskName.1
