Browsing The Mib Tree - Motorola BSR 2000 Reference Manual

Release 1.0 Using a MIB Browser to Access MIB Variables

Browsing the MIB Tree

A graphical MIB browser provides an interface that lets you query any SNMP device
on your network and examine its supported MIBs. The MIB information is visually
structured into a tree format, similar to a directory tree. Using the mouse, you can
scroll through the tree and click on folder icons to open the tree layer of interest. Like
a file directory tree, the MIB Tree is represented by a series of collapsible and
expandable folders, with the individual MIB Objects contained in each folder.
Once you have successfully contacted a device, you will be able to browse its
supported MIBs through a MIB tree display in the browser window, and query the
device for its MIB object values. Like a file directory tree, the MIB tree is represented
by a series of collapsible and expandable folders, containing the individual MIB
objects.
Figure 5-1 shows the top level of the MIB tree is shown. When you click on a level of
a tree, it is highlighted to show that it is selected. Each branch of the tree is indicated
by a folder.
