Cabletron Systems STHI manual Walk, Cycles, 9 SET

The SNMP Tool Screen

5.9.6WALK

WALK functions like an automatically repeating STEP, rapidly scrolling through a MIB leaf by leaf from a user-specified OID without requiring the user to initiate each step. WALK steps continuously until either the user stops the process or the list ends.

1.Invoke WALK by the on-screen selection method.

2.After “<INITIAL> OID (=F9)” appears, specify an OID from which to begin walking, and press the Return key.

The screen will begin walking through the MIB’s sublayers.

3.Press the Space Bar to stop the walk (or to resume if stopped), or wait for “***MIB WALK COMPLETED***” to appear on the screen.

5.9.7CYCLES

CYCLES functions like WALK except that the user specifies the number of steps to be taken and the time to elapse between each step, allowing the user to limit the speed and duration (content) of the display.

1.Invoke CYCLES by the on-screen selection method.

2.After “ENTER CYCLE COUNT:” appears, set the number of steps to be taken, then press the Return key.

3.After “ENTER CYCLE DELAY (secs):” appears, set the delay (in seconds) to occur between steps, then press the Return key.

4.After “<INITIAL> OID (=F9)” appears, specify an OID from which to begin walking, and press the Return key.

5.9.8RECALL-OID

RECALL-OIDis a tool of convenience used only when specifying an OID. Rather than retyping the last-specified OID, the user presses F9 and the OID appears. RECALL-OIDmay be invoked only by pressing F9.

5.9.9SET

SET enables users with read-write and super-user access to change the current values of modifiable MIB objects. For example, a super-user may change the current community name protecting a certain MIB, or change the STHI hub’s operating ring speed.

1.Invoke SET on screen, or press the F7 function key.
