Event System Configuration 349
is possible for it to do so. If it is not possible for 3Com Network Director
| to translate the entire object identifier then the remainder will be shown |
| using numerical values. |
| Using the example given above, 3Com Network Director translates 1 to |
| iso, 3 to org, 6 to dod, and so on. It cannot translate any further than |
| translating 10 to generic, and so the following is displayed: |
| iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.a3Com.generic.22.2.1.4.1.7.0.4. |
| 11 |
| Collapsed name decode: Collapsed name decode works in a similar |
| manner to full name decode. However, only the |
| translated object identifier and any untranslated identifiers following this |
| are shown. |
| Using the example from above, 3Com Network Director is able to |
| translate as far as translating 10 to generic. It then strips off the |
| preceding iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.a3Com to show: |
| generic.22.2.1.4.1.7.0.4.11 |
| In addition, the Display octet strings as ASCII checkbox in the Format |
| section at the bottom right allows you to control whether or not octet |
| strings should be converted to their textual equivalent or simply displayed |
| as raw list of hexadecimal codes. |
| Octet strings are often used to hold ASCII encoded text within SNMP trap |
| varbinds. Checking this checkbox can simplify the diagnosis of the cause |
| of an SNMP |
| varbinds. |
