Hello Kyle,

It seems simpler and pretty straight forward. I am using this set method 
to remote reboot APC PDU device via snmp.

Can you rewrite this function using s2nmp set method for me

oid = '1.3.6.1.4.1.318.1.';
result = GdPortalApcReboot.find_by_device_id(1963)

result.address             //will have the IP address
result.snmp_community_str  //will contain community string
result.reset_port          //contain the reset_port.

manager = SNMP::Manager.new(:Host => result.address,:Community =>
result.snmp_community_str)
        varbind = VarBind.new(oid.to_s + '.' + result.reset_port.to_s,
OctetString.new("3"))
        manager.set(varbind)
        manager.close

???????????

and this with s2nmp get method

SNMP::Manager.open(:Host => result.address) do |manager|
            response = manager.get(oid.to_s + "." + 
result.reset_port.to_s)
            response.each_varbind do |vb|
              status = "#{vb.name.to_s}  #{vb.value.to_s} 
#{vb.value.asn1_type}"
            end
          end

???????????

When i run these functions I am getting SNMP::RequestTimeout Host 
xx.xx.xx.xx not responding.

Any kind of help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)
