Field Description of Object Parameters
Item
Label Standard name for MIB variable (as appearing in the MIB tree).
MIB Name Name of the MIB module to which the variable belongs.
Object ID Dotted-decimal identifier for current variable, indicating its exact location in the database structure.
Type Data type of the object. This is NULL if the object is a structure (i.e., not a real variable).
Access Refers to the way the data can be accessed. This item is only meaningful for real variables. Acceptable values
include "Read Only," "Read/Write," or "No Access." Note that a Read-Only object does not support the "set"
operation.
Status Can be MANDATORY, OPTIONAL or DEPRECATED. In general, a mandatory object must be implemented,
an optional object may be omitted, and a depreciated object may be taken out of a definition. However,
according to grouping conventions as defined in the standards, objects may be grouped such that all of them
are implemented, or omitted altogether. In such case these objects may have the status of MANDATORY but
not be implemented without violating the rules.
Index Index to current table entry. The IP address of the target device is commonly used as an index.
Value The value of the current variable. Value type depends on the specific variable.
Range Range of the variable in (x, y) format.
Size Size of the string data in number of bytes.
Description Text that briefly describes the use of the corresponding variable.
9. When you execute a Get Request (or double-click on an item in the MIB
tree) or Get Bulk Request, the value of the selected variable(s) is retrieved
from the managed device and displayed beneath the textual description.
However, note that when the Get Next request is executed, the next
variable actually retrieved may be several nodes away, so the ObjectID and
Index entries are also displayed.
10. The MIB database contains both simple variables and tables. For example,
the atEntry uses the IP address as a pointer to specific network
devices. When you expand a table by double-clicking on the
associated node, the Input Index dialog box will open to query
for the required table index. You can change the table index for
the current variable (provided it is a table) using the Index
button.
11. You can modify the value of variables for which you have write
access (as indicated in MIB definition's Access field). Once you
have located the required variable, click the Set Request button to
open the Input Value dialog box. The object and object type, as
defined in the MIB, are listed in this box. Input the new value,
ensuring that you use the correct type (as indicated in MIB
definition's Type field). Then click OK to write this value into the
managed device, or Cancel to abort the change.
