Getting Individual OIDs
Use the following steps to “Get” individual OIDs:
1. Highlight GET, using the arrow keys, then press ENTER or F6.
“<GET> OID (=|F9)” appears.
2. Use one of the following options to enter the OID:
• Using the keyboard to enter the OID minus the prepend (e.g., if the
prepend is 1.3.6.1, and 4.1.3 is entered, then the
OID=1.3.6.1.4.1.3).
• Entering an “
=” and the OID suffix (e.g., if =4.1.3 is entered, then
the OID=4.1.3). This allows the user to digress and not use the
prepend.
• Pressing F9 to recall an OID already entered. The user can then
use the keyboard to modify the recalled OID as necessary.
3. Press ENTER. If there is no instance of that OID, the return code will
specify “MIB_NO_INSTANCE”, otherwise, information about that
OID data type, length, and value appear.
Getting the Next OID
Use the following steps to “Get” the next OID:
1. Highlight GETNEXT with the arrow keys, then press ENTER or F8.
“<GETNEXT> OID (=|F9)” appears.
2. Enter the desired OID, or OID extension. (Press F9 to recall the last
OID request. The recalled OID may then be modified as necessary.)
3. Press ENTER. If there is no instance of that OID, the return code will
specify “MIB_NO_INSTANCE”, otherwise, information about that
OID data type, length, and value appear.
Setting an OID
Use the following steps to “Set” the next OID:
1. Highlight SET by using the arrow keys, then press ENTER or F7.
“<SET> OID (=|F9)” appears.
2. Enter the OID, minus the OID prepend. If the OID was previously
entered, pressing F9 recalls that entry. The arrow keys may be used to
modify the recalled OID if necessary.
