Viewing Multiple OIDs
Viewing several object identifiers at one time allows the user to quickly
scan a MIB for the specific information that is needed. The Walk scrolls
through OIDs numerically sequential to the initial OID request. The Step
command scrolls the MIB Walk, one OID at a time. Cycling allows you to
specify how many GetNext commands to cycle through for one OID.
Walking Through OIDs
To walk through an OID:
1. Highlight Walk, using the arrow keys, then press the Return key.
“<INITIAL> OID (=|F9)” appears.
2. Enter the OID (minus the prepend) and press the Return key. The
screen will begin walking through the sublayers of the MIB available
from the specified OID. Each OID listed displays the specified OID,
its size, its type, and the data it contains.
3. Press the Space Bar to stop the walk, or wait for “***MIB WALK
COMPLETED***” to appear on the screen.
Stepping Through OIDs
To step through an OID (the user can step through only after a GetNext):
1. Highlight Step, using the arrow keys, then press the Return key.
“Specify OID” appears.
2. Enter the OID (only the suffix is necessary) and press Return. The
Tools screen will begin to scroll one OID at a time, through all of the
sublayers of the MIB available for that OID.
