LOCAL MANAGEMENT
3.Enter an OID either by:
•using the keyboard to enter the OID.
Shortcut: 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 Local Management 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.
•entering an ‘=’ and the OID suffix (e.g., if you enter =2.1.1.4.0, the OID = 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0). This allows you to digress and not use the prepend.
4.Press the Return key. If there is no instance of that OID, the TRXI displays “MIB_NO_INSTANCE.” Otherwise, the TRXI displays that OID’s data type, length, and value.
To get the next OID:
1.Highlight GETNEXT, using the arrow keys.
2.Press the Return key. “<GETNEXT> OID (=F9)” appears.
3.Enter the OID.
4.Press the Return key. If that OID does not exist, the TRXI displays “MIB_NO_INSTANCE”. Otherwise the TRXI displays that OID’s data type, length, and value.
Shortcut: 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, type the OID minus the OID’s prepend.
To set an OID [information in brackets provides an example]:
1.Highlight SET, using the arrow keys.
2.Press the Return key. “<SET> OID (=F9)” appears.
