2. After “ OID (=|F9)” appears, specify an OID by the same
methods used in the
GET procedure:

If there is no instance of that OID, “MIB NO INSTANCE” will appear;
otherwise “DATA TYPE:” appears.
4. Designate a data type for the OID: integer, string, null, OID, IP
address, counter, gauge, timeticks, and opaque are the available
options. (Refer to the MIB for proper data type.) Press the Return key
to accept the designation.
5. After “DATA” appears, enter the MIB object’s new value and press
Return
.
If accepted, “ OPERATION CODE: xxxx ” appears,
otherwise an error message appears.
5.9.10 REPEAT
The REPEAT command is the same as a GET command expect that it
re-executes itself continuously, scrolling updated values for the specified
OID on the screen and counting the number of times it has been shown,
until stopped by the user. In other words, by using
REPEAT the user can
monitor an object’s changes over time.
5.9.11 Firmware Image Downloads
The SNMP Tool screen may be used to initiate a Flash file download. The
user will need to know the IP address of the TFTP server and the full path
name of the firmware image to be downloaded from that server.
Set the following OIDs as prescribed below in order to properly initiate
and complete the download.
• ctDLForceOnBoot - 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.8.1.1.0
Cabletron’s Download Force On Boot OID determines whether the
STHI will force a Flash image download at next reset or will boot from
its current Flash file. Set this integer value to 1 to force the download
(or 0 to disable).
• ctDLTFTPRequestHost - 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.8.1.4.0
Cabletron’s Download TFTP Request Host OID holds the IP address
of the designated TFTP server. Set it to the IP address of the TFTP
server which contains the image to be downloaded.
