Viewing Multiple OIDs

3.Press the SPACE bar to stop the walk, or wait for “***MIB WALK COMPLETED***” to appear on the screen.
Stepping Through OIDs
Use the following steps to “Step” through OIDs (the user can step through only after a GETNEXT):
1.Highlight STEP, using the arrow keys, then press ENTER. “Specify OID” appears.
2.Enter the OID (only the suffix is necessary) and press ENTER. The Tools screen begins to scroll one OID at a time, through all of the sublayers of the MIB available for that OID.
