Cabletron Systems SEHI-22FL manual Allows the user to retrieve MIB objects using SNMP protocol

The SNMP Tools Screen

OID PREPEND

Specifies the number prefix common to all Object Identifiers (OIDs) found in the MIBs – 1.3.6.1 is the default prefix OID. This is a modifiable field.

GETNEXT

Displays the OID following the current OID.

WALK

Allows the user to scroll through a section of the MIB leaf by leaf, from a user-specified object identifier. Leaves are the sections of the OID separated by periods. When a walk is initialized, the following categories for each walk entry, or step are displayed.

•Specified OID - gives the number tag for that OID.

•Size - identifies the number of bytes required to store that object.

•Type - specifies the variable type of the object (e.g., int = integer).

•Data - displays what the object identifier represents.

RECALL-OID

Recalls, from memory, the last OID used.

STEP

Displays the MIB walk, step by step, giving the user time to view specific leaves in detail.

CYCLES

Allows the user to specify the number of GETNEXT requests to cycle through and how much time will elapse between each request.

REPEAT

Repeats the last Get command, allowing the user to monitor changes to a specific OID.
