CHAPTER 9: SNMP TOOLS SCREEN
9-4 EMM-E6 User’s Guide
In order to access a specific MIB’s components, you must set the
appropriate MIB password in the COMMUNITY NAME field.
To set the SNMP Tools screen COMMUNITY NAME:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the field to the right of
COMMUNITY NAME.
2. Enter the community name necessary for super-user access for any
specific MIB (e.g., channelA for Repeater Rev. 4 MIB).
3. Press the Return key. The community name changes.
9.4 GETTING AND SETTING OIDS
To get an OID:
1. Highlight GET, using the arrow keys.
2. Press the Return key. “ OID (=|F9)” appears.
3. Enter an OID either by:
• using the keyboard to enter the OID.
• pressing F9 to recall an OID already entered, and using the keyboard
to modify the recalled OID as necessary.
The default super-user password (public) allows you to
access most MIB components. To change the SNMP Tools
screen COMMUNITY NAME field, you must have super-user
access to Local Management.
NOTE
Save yourself some keystrokes by typing the OID minus the
OID’s prepend (i.e., given an OID prepend of 1.3.6.1, you
enter 2.1.1.4.0, and the LM gets the MIB II sysContact OID
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0).
