Getting the Next OID
To get the next OID:
1. Highlight GETNEXT by 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. The recalled OID may then be modified 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.
Setting an OID
To set an OID:
1. Highlight SET by using the arrow keys, then press the Return key (or
press the F7 function key). “<SET> OID (=|F9)” appears.
2. Enter the OID, minus the OID’s 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.
3. Press the Return key. If there is no instance of that OID, the return
code will specify “MIB_NO_INSTANCE”, otherwise “DATA
TYPE:” appears.

null, OID, IP address, counter, gauge, timeticks, and opaque.
5. Press the Return key. “DATA” appears.
6. Enter the value to correspond to the OID. If accepted, “<SET>
OPERATION CODE: XXXX <OK>” appears, otherwise an error
