Scrolling Through MIB OIDs
Viewing several object identifiers at one time allows you to quickly
scan a MIB for the information that you need. The SNMP Tools screen
provides several scroll options:
•
WALK — scrolls through OIDs sequentially, from the initial
OID.
•
CYCLE — allows you to specify how many GETNEXT
commands to cycle through for one OID.
•
STEP — pages through the MIB, one OID at a time.
To walk through the MIB:
1.
Highlight WALK, using the arrow keys.
2.
Press the Return key. “<INITIAL> OID (=|F9):” appears.
3.
Enter the OID.
4.
Press the Return key. Local Management begins walking through
the sublayers of the MIB available from the specified OID. Each
OID in the list displays the specified OID, its size, its data type, and
the data value.
5.
Press any key to stop the walk, or wait for “***MIB WALK
COMPLETED***” to appear on the screen.
