The mere mention of Bay Networks and Site Manager (read: Site Mangler or
Site Damager) is enough to get my blood pressure up a few points, and I
haven't touched that stuff since probably 1999 or 2000. The CLI was quite
horrible, and their somewhat IOS-like command shell (BCC) was not much
better.

The most I've done using SNMP SETs is backed up configurations from
network devices at my old job. That part worked (and works) very well,
but I never tried pushing config changes out to devices that way.
