What is operationTrigger?

operationTrigger is a read-write character string that, per the module's overall purpose ("A mechanism to trigger the MCP scripts"), an admin writes to under the mcp operation branch to invoke a specific MCP operation script on the agent. Because the object itself is documented only as a generic "Character string value", an admin needs to know the specific trigger keyword or argument the target script expects; the paired operationStatus object then reports back the outcome of that triggered action. As an illustrative example, an admin might SNMP-SET operationTrigger to a value such as "start" to kick off the configured MCP operation script, then poll operationStatus to see whether it completed.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.48.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> MCP-MIB2::operationTrigger

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.48.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> MCP-MIB2::operationTrigger.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.42.2.12.2.2.48.1.1.1 s <value>
