SCROLLING THROUGH MIB OIDS

Viewing several object identifiers at one time allows you to quickly scan a
MIB for the information that you need. The SNMP Tools screen provides
several scroll options:

Walk — scrolls through OIDs sequentially, from the initial OID.

Cycle — allows you to specify how many GetNext commands to

cycle through for one OID.

Step — pages through the MIB, one OID at a time.

If you have previously entered an OID, press F9 to recall that
entry. You can use the arrow keys to modify the recalled OID,
or if you have not previously entered the OID, save yourself
some keystrokes by typing the OID minus the OID’s prepend.

TIP

When setting a String, SNMP tools requests the kind of data
you plan to enter — HEX or ASCII.
