3. Enter an OID. [1.3.6.1.2.1.1.4.0]
4. Press the Return key. If that OID does not exist, the TRXI
displays “MIB_NO_INSTANCE”. Otherwise the TRXI displays:
{INteger String Null OId IP address Counter Gauge Timeticks
OPaque}
“DATA TYPE (name):”.
Shortcut: 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.
5. Enter the OID’s Data Type. [The sysContact Data Type is
String.]
Note: When setting a String, SNMP tools requests the kind of data
you plan to enter — HEX or ASCII. [In this example choose ASCII.]
6. Press the Return key. The TRXI displays “SNMP OID DATA.”
7. Enter the Data, or value of the OID. [Type in a sysContact. This
OID allows for a String of up to 12 characters.]
8. Press the Return key. If the TRXI accepts the entry, it displays
“<SET> OPERATION CODE: XXXX <OK>”; otherwise, an error
message appears.
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.
