13.2.1 Conventions for MIB Navigator Commands
This manual uses the following conventions for denoting commands:
• Information keyed by the user is shown in this helvetica font.
• Command arguments are indicated by two types of brackets:
- required arguments are enclosed by [ ].
- optional arguments are enclosed by < >.
MIB Navigator command conventions are as follows:
• To abort the output or interrupt a process, the escape character is ^C
(where ^ equals the Control key).
• A slash (/) proceeding an OID issues that command from the root
directory regardless of where you are in the MIB. If no slash precedes
the OID the command issues from your current MIB location.
• Dot notation (1.1.1.1) is equivalent to slash notation (1/1/1/1). Use
slash notation with the navigational commands, and the dot notation
with the built-in commands that are using SNMP to access and manage
network devices.
MIB Navigation Commands are listed in the format shown below:
