Cabletron Systems EMM-E6 Ethernet manual Scrolling Through MIB Oids

CHAPTER 9: SNMP TOOLS SCREEN

TIP

If you have previously entered an OID, press F9 to recall that entry. You can use the arrow keys to modify the recalled OID, or if you have not previously entered the OID, save yourself some keystrokes by typing the OID minus the OID’s prepend.

5. Enter the OID’s Data Type.

NOTE

When setting a String, SNMP tools requests the kind of data you plan to enter — HEX or ASCII.

6.Press the Return key. The EMM-E6 displays “SNMP OID DATA.”

7.Enter the Data, or value of the OID.

8.Press the Return key. If the EMM-E6 accepts the entry, it displays “<SET> OPERATION CODE: XXXX <OK>”; otherwise, an error message appears.

9.5SCROLLING THROUGH MIB OIDS

Viewing several object identifiers at one time allows you to quickly scan a MIB for the information that you need. The SNMP Tools screen provides several scroll options:

•Walk — scrolls through OIDs sequentially, from the initial OID.

•Cycle — allows you to specify how many GetNext commands to cycle through for one OID.

•Step — pages through the MIB, one OID at a time.
