Getting Individual OIDs
To get an OID:
1.
Highlight GET, using the arrow keys, then press the Return key
(or press the F6 function key). “<GET> OID (=|F9)” appears.
2.
Enter the OID either by:
•
using the keyboard to enter the OID minus the OID’s prepend
(e.g., if the prepend is 1.3.6.1, and you enter 4.1.3, then the
OID=1.3.6.1.4.1.3).
•
entering an ‘=’ and the OID suffix (e.g., if you enter =4.1.3, then
the OID=4.1.3). This allows you to digress and not use the
prepend.
•
pressing F9 to recall an OID already entered. You can then use
the keyboard to modify the recalled OID as necessary.
3.
Press the Return key. If there is no instance of that OID, the
return code will specify “MIB_NO_INSTANCE”, otherwise,
information about that OID’s data type, length, and value appear.
Getting the Next OID
To get the next OID:
1.
Highlight GETNEXT, using the arrow keys, then press the
Return key (or press the F8 function key). “<GETNEXT> OID
(=|F9)” appears.
2.
Enter the desired OID, or OID extension. (Press F9 to recall the
last OID request. You can then modify the recalled OID as
necessary.)
3.
Press the Return key. If there is no instance of that OID, the
return code will specify “MIB_NO_INSTANCE”, otherwise,
information about that OID’s data type, length, and value appear.
