::: example
### Modifying SNMP Recipient Settings Recepient IP

This example shows how to modify an IP address of the SNMP recipient from `172.17.53.28` to `172.17.53.23`.

```
$options = New-VBRSNMPReceiver -ReceiverIP 172.17.53.28 -ReceiverPort 22 -CommunityString public
Set-VBRSNMPReceiver -Receiver $options -ReceiverIP  172.17.53.23
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`New-VBRSNMPReceiver`](new-vbrsnmpreceiver.md) cmdlet. Specify the `ReceiverIP`, `ReceiverPort` and the `CommunityString` parameters. Save the result to the `$options` variable.
2. Run the `Set-VBRSNMPReceiver` cmdlet. Set the `$options` variable as the `Receiver` parameter value. Specify the `ReceiverIP` parameter value.
