There is no simple answer. Many snmp agents do not allow to modify
routing table entries and you figured out the correct community
string. I would suggest to first check the agent documentation in
order to find out if the agent supports sets on the ipRouteTable. If
it claims to allow sets, first try setting simple variables like
sysLocation.0 until you know that you are using the right community
string. Afterwards, start playing around with the ipRouteTable.
