I am trying to do an snmpset with type 'a' IPADDRESS, I can't find any
examples out there on how to do this. I am on a Windows System and I
have even tried to do inet_pton($ip_str) to convert the string IP
address to inet_addr and pass it to snmpset, but in windows it says
that inet_pton is not a recognized function.

I have tried doing the snmpset using string type - this does not work,
or unsigned integor and converting the IP address to long, obviously
this doesn't work either. Passing a string to type 'a':

snmpset(host, communitystring, 'a', '10.10.10.10')

does not work either - I get the value given has the wrong type or
length.

Any help would be great - and in this rare case, the php.net
documentation does not help at all.

You must be running an old version of PHP. It's available on Windows as
of PHP 5.3 (which has been out for almost 2 years).

I am running 5.2.17 - but the question is not about inet_pton(...) but
rather about how do you use snmpset with a type of 'a' (IPADDRES).

If I run:

snmpset( '172.101.110.11', 'someprivatecomm' , $oid.'2' , 'a',
'172.100.100.101')

I get an error: "The value given has the wrong type of length"

Can someone show me how to do snmpset for an IPADDRESS type?

No, there's not a lot of documentation on it because it's a low level
command and completely dependent on the remote system - which objects
exist and what the members of those objects are.

I've never used this particular function in PHP, but looking at the doc:

bool snmpset ( string $hostname , string $community , string $object_id
, string $type , mixed $value [, int $timeout [, int $retries ]] )

It looks like you're missing a value - maybe $object_id?
