Getting And Setting Oids - Cabletron Systems ETWMIM User Manual

LOCAL MANAGEMENT
In order to access a specific MIB's components, you must set the
appropriate MIB password in the COMMUNITY NAME field.
Note: The default Super-User password (public) allows you to access
most MIB components. To change the SNMP Tools screen
COMMUNITY NAME field, you must have Super-User access to Local
Management.
To set the SNMP Tools screen COMMUNITY NAME:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the field to the right of
COMMUNITY NAME.
2. Enter the Community Name necessary for Super-User access for
any specific MIB (e.g., channel A DownloadMIB).
3. Press the Return key. The Community Name changes.

5.6.4 Getting And Setting OIDs

To get an OID:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight GET, or press the F6 function key.
2. Press the Return key. "<GET> OID (=|F9):" appears.
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.
