Am able to solve that problem if i run with sysName am getting the correct result but when i use other objects am getting the following error

root@newuser-desktop:/home/newuser# snmpset -v 2c -c private localhost sysName.0 s "office"
SNMPv2-MIB::sysName.0 = STRING: office

root@newuser-desktop:/home/newuser# snmpset -v 2c -c private XXX-MIB::XXX.0 i "4"
i: Bad object type: 4

root@newuser-desktop:/home/newuser# snmpset -v 2c -c private sysORUpTime.4 t "10:01:11:00"
t: Bad object type: 1

snmpset -v 2c -c private XXX-MIB::XXX.0 s "office" (here am giving 's' instead of 'i' just to check which error i get)
s: Needs value

so can anyone pls help where i went wrong?

Note : this request is being sent to 'localhost'

while this request is being sent to the host called "XXX-MIB:XXX.0"

You need to tell the "snmpset" command where to send the request.
It doesn't remember this from one invocation to the next!
