Browser Main Window
|
|
|
|
Browser lets you get and set the values of the attributes of a
|
|
MIB on a specified node. The entry fields in this window enable
|
|
you to specify the node that you wish to browse and the parts of
|
|
the MIB that you want to browse.
|
|
|
|
The Text Input area has the following fields :
|
|
|
|
Node - Enter the name or IP address of the node you want to browse
|
|
in this entry field. By default this field contains the
|
|
name of your workstation. To browse Silicon Graphics
|
|
workstations, your workstation must have authorization in the
|
|
file /usr/etc/snmpd.auth on the workstation you want to browse.
|
|
|
|
Community - Enter the community string that the SNMP agent on the node
|
|
in the node entry field is expecting. The default Community
|
|
string is "public". The vendor of the SNMP agent specifies the
|
|
community string that agent is expecting.
|
|
|
|
Timeout Interval - This is the number of seconds per request to the
|
|
SNMP agent.
|
|
|
|
Number of retries - The number of reties per request before the timeout.
|
|
|
|
The button area has four buttons :
|
|
|
|
mib-2 - Press this to get the groups in the mib-2. A window with all
|
|
the groups in the mib-2 appears. Select the group that you
|
|
want to see. This brings up the subwindow for that group.
|
|
|
|
enterprises - Press this to get to the enterprise part of the MIB.
|
|
Two mibs, Cisco and Cabletron have been supplied with this
|
|
product and you will see those two names in the group window
|
|
that appears. Select one of them and you can navigate your way
|
|
that part of the MIB. Note also that if you had say, Synoptics
|
|
MIB present in the /usr/lib/netvis/mibs directory, it would
|
|
have been compiled in and you would have seen a Synoptics
|
|
button in this window.
|
|
|
|
experimental - Press this to browse the experimental part of the MIB.
|
|
There is no MIB in this part of the SNMP tree that we have
|
|
provided.
|
|
|
|
variable - Press this button to bring up a variable window. This window
|
|
is used to query the attributes of a MIB that has not been
|
|
compiled by the MIB compiler.
|
|
|
|
There are three menu bar items - File, Navigate and Help.
|
|
|
|
The File menu provides these choices:
|
|
|
|
Save MIB Values - Browser data is saved to the file specified by
|
|
"Save MIB Values As".
|
|
|
|
Save Mib Values As - A Save File window appears. When you use it to
|
|
specify the name of a file, the current Browser data is saved
|
|
to that file.
|
|
|
|
Close lower level windows - Selecting this closes the lower level
|
|
windows that are open.
|
|
|
|
Quit - Quit Browser.
|
|
|
|
The Navigate menu provides three options :
|
|
|
|
mib-2 - The mib-2 menu and its rollover menus enable you to
|
|
navigate your way through the MIB-II part of the SNMP tree.
|
|
When mib-2 is highlighted a rollover menu appears with all the
|
|
groups in mib-2. You can select one of these groups or one of
|
|
the tables that appear in their rollover menus. For example,
|
|
if you select the system group, a group window appears. It
|
|
lists all the attributes and tables of the system group.
|
|
|
|
enterprises - The enterprises menu and its rollover menu enable you
|
|
to navigate the enterprise specific part of the SNMP
|
|
information tree.
|
|
|
|
experimental - The experimental menu and its rollover menu enable you
|
|
to navigate the experimental specific part of the SNMP
|
|
information tree. No MIB under the experimental part of the
|
|
SNMP tree has been supplied with this product. So this
|
|
rollover item will appear gray.
|
|
|
|
The Help menu provides the online help that you are reading right now.
