WALK

WALK

functions like an automatically repeating

STEP

, rapidly scrolling

through a MIB leaf by leaf from a user-specified OID without requiring the
user to initiate each step.

WALK

steps continuously until either the user

stops the process or the list ends.

1.

Invoke

WALK

by the on-screen selection method.

2.

After “ OID (=|F9)” appears, specify an OID from which
to begin walking, and press the Return key.

The screen will begin walking through the MIB’s sublayers.

3.

Press the Space Bar to stop the walk (or to resume if stopped), or wait
for “***MIB WALK COMPLETED***” to appear on the screen.

5.9.7

CYCLES

CYCLES

functions like

WALK

except that the user specifies the number of

steps to be taken and the time to elapse between each step, allowing the
user to limit the speed and duration (content) of the display.

CYCLES

by the on-screen selection method.

2.

After “ENTER CYCLE COUNT:” appears, set the number of steps to
be taken, then press the Return key.

to begin walking, and press the Return key.

is a tool of convenience used only when specifying an OID.

Rather than retyping the last-specified OID, the user presses F9 and the
OID appears.

RECALL-OID

may be invoked only by pressing F9.

SET

SET

enables users with read-write and super-user access to change the

current values of modifiable MIB objects. For example, a super-user may
change the current community name protecting a certain MIB, or change
the STHI hub’s operating ring speed.

Invoke

SET

on screen, or press the F7 function key.
