WALK
Scrolls you through the MIB, leaf by leaf, from a user-specified object
identifier. Leaves are objects, or instances of objects. After initializing
a walk you see the following categories for each entry:
•
Specified OID — identifies the number tag for that OID.
•
Size — gives the number of bytes required to store the object.
•
Data Type — gives the object’s variable type (e.g., int=integer).
•
Data Value — displays what the object identifier represents.
RECALL-OID
Recalls from memory the last OID used since powering up the board
or re-entering the SNMP Tools screen.
STEP
Displays the MIB, step by step, with specific OID details.
CYCLES
Allows you to specify the number of GETNEXT requests to walk
through and how much time elapses between each request.
REPEAT
Repeats the Get command, allowing you to monitor any changes to a
specific OID.

The Security Access Level
Each MIB component that the ETWMIM supports (e.g., RMON, DLM,
etc.) has its own “password” for each possible level of access (ranging
from Basic Read-Only to Super-User). Most MIB component
Community Names default to “public.”
Note: A complete list of Super-User Community Names (also called
Community Strings) resides in the Cabletron proprietary chassis MIB.
The MIB group chCompName provides the names of the MIB
components. The MIB group chCompSUCommStr provides individual
MIB component Community Names/Strings.
The component information corresponds numerically – by last digit. In
other words, each instance (i.e., OID element) in the chCompName
group indicates its match in the chCompSUCommStr group.
