Description: The dnsResCmd can be set to delete to remove this row from the table. If you need to change the IP address of a host in the DNS table, you must create a new entry corresponding to the new host, and then use this field on the old host entry that should be removed.
What is dnsResCmd?
Setting this object to delete(2) removes this row from the DNS host table; the normal at-rest value is noop(1). Because there is no way to directly edit a host's IP address, the documented process for changing one is to create a new row for the new address and then use this object to delete the old row. Admins use it as the standard mechanism for retiring a DNS server entry.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1978.2.1.10.7.1.8 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> TIGER::dnsResCmd
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1978.2.1.10.7.1.8.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> TIGER::dnsResCmd.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1978.2.1.10.7.1.8.1 i <value>
SNMPv3 example:
snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dnsResCmd.1
