I'm looking for a way of resetting our B300 ethernet interface box.  Every
so often someone runs a program that crashes and exits iserver, but does
not release the subsystem port of the B300.  Usually, someone sends me
mail and I have to go down to the machine room to power cycle the box.

Is there any way of resetting/rebooting the interface remotely?

I noticed that there's a imsConfigResetSystem MIB variable defined in the
sample snmp MIB file, but I always get a SNMP error: <No such MIB variable>,
variable 1, imsConfigResetSystem[1.3.6.1.4.1.281.1.2.9], if I try to set/read
it.
