How can remote users access the V!CAS’ status page?
V!CAS
CGI Program: htmlshow
The contents of V!CAS SNMP tables and variables can also be se-
lectively displayed to any WWW browser using the internal
htmlshow program. The V!CAS authenticates htmlshow queries using
the SNMP community passwords (admin, read, write) once per
browser session.
The syntax for using htmlshow adheres to the CGI (Common Gate-
way Interface) standard and can be referenced as follows:
where possible options may include:
oid=
snmp_oid
This option is mandatory and specifies an SNMP object
identifier (OID) to display. snmp_oid is not case-sensitive.
An OID may be specified in one of the following ways:
1.A symbolic object identifier, e.g.
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.interfaces.ifEntry.ifTable
2.An numerical object identifier, e.g.
.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1
3.A unique MIB-2 or BinTec MIB table or variable name, e.g.
iftable
Object identifiers starting with a period (“.”) are taken to be abso-
lute object identifiers; otherwise a relative object identifier is assumed.
Relative object identifiers are searched for relative to MIB-2, i.e.
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2 or .1.3.6.1.2.1.
refreshtime=
interval
If interval is specified the display is updated every interval
seconds. Entering 0 in the resulting text field disables auto-
matic refresh updates.
orientation=
mode
Defines the orientation of the output.
“portrait” (default) or “landscape” mode may be specified.
