Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 Ethernet manual Getting and Setting Oids, Community Name

CHAPTER 9: SNMP TOOLS SCREEN

In order to access a specific MIB’s components, you must set the appropriate MIB password in the COMMUNITY NAME field.

NOTE

The default super-user password (public) allows you to access most MIB components. To change the SNMP Tools screen COMMUNITY NAME field, you must have super-user access to Local Management.

To set the SNMP Tools screen COMMUNITY NAME:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the field to the right of

COMMUNITY NAME.

2.Enter the community name necessary for super-user access for any specific MIB (e.g., channelA for Repeater Rev. 4 MIB).

3.Press the Return key. The community name changes.

9.4GETTING AND SETTING OIDS

To get an OID:

1.Highlight GET, using the arrow keys.

2.Press the Return key. “<GET> OID (=F9)” appears.

3.Enter an OID either by:

•using the keyboard to enter the OID.

TIP

Save yourself some keystrokes by typing the OID minus the OID’s prepend (i.e., given an OID prepend of 1.3.6.1, you enter 2.1.1.4.0, and the LM gets the MIB II sysContact OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0).

•pressing F9 to recall an OID already entered, and using the keyboard to modify the recalled OID as necessary.
