I like to use snmp set to set power outlets of een CDU

on the command line, it's simple and looks like this

snmpset -v 2c -c private 192.168.178.28 1.3.6.1.4.1.1718.3.2.3.1.11.1.1.3 integer 3

when the integer is 1 it's on and 2 off and 3 reboot

below the code what is wrong, Any hints or Tips

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the update. Was this about some contrib node or running the command using a exec node?

P.S. If you mark your own post as the solution, then other forum members can skip reading as they know the problem is already solved.

To be honest, neither do I. I've only created 3 topics and they're all locked now. It might as well be the moderators who do that. Someone please clarify. 🙂

Edit: now I see this as solved, did you figure it out or did someone else do it? 😂

Topics now self-lock after a period. You can see the period at the bottom of the topic. Some topics do get manually closed. Usually because someone has added to a topic long after the last post or has posted something that should be a new topic. Moderators can also extend the closure.

That I know, I was asking about the "solved" feature as I never remember seeing such a button.

The person who starts a thread can mark any post in the thread as the solution. If you click on the wrench icon, you will see that option. Checking it starts the 14 day lock timer
