MIB Browser – Table Operations Multi-Varbind Request
AlliedView NMS Administration Guide (Built-in Browsers - SNMP MIB and CWMP)

You also need to specify the hostname and community string of the SNMP agent you are talking to in the appropriate field.
To talk to a V3 agent, choose the Version3 from the choice box in the Settings dialog and also make sure that the v3 parameters
are set in V3 Settings Dialog.
11.5.1 Multi-Varbind Request
Select the Display -> Multi-Varbind menu item from the View menu to view the Multi-Varbind panel. To do a multiple varbind
request, select the leaf node and append the instance, and then click Add. This adds the OID given in the Object Identifier field
and the Value given in the SetValue field both separated with a colon to the list. If a value is not given in the SetValue field, the
NULL value is appended. We can add multiple numbers of OIDs and values like this. Ensure that you check the Multi-var
checkbox before doing a SNMP operation for multiple varbind SNMP request. Otherwise, it will do a request for the OID in
the Object Identifier field.
To do multiple-variable SNMP SET, ensure that the proper OIDs and values are given in the text fields before adding them to
the list. Check the Multi-Var check box before doing the multiple variable SET.
To delete the varbind(s) from the list select the varbind(s) from the list and click Delete to delete the varbind(s) from the list.
To edit the varbinds added in the list, select a varbind and click Edit. This shows an OID and the Value of the varbind in the
TextFields to edit the OID and the Value. Edit it and press OK button to modify the OID and the value or click Cancel to
restore the old values.
• To perform a GET operation, click the GET icon ( ) or select the Operations -> Get menu item. If the MIB node and
instance are specified, this gets all objects under the selected MIB object or the specific object.
• To perform a GETNEXT operation, click the GETNEXT icon ( ) or select the Operations -> GetNext menu item. If a
MIB node is specified, this gets the next object after the specified object or the specific object instance.
• To perform a GETBULK operation, click the GETBULKicon ( ) or select the Operations -> GetBulk menu item. This
gets a sequence of Next Objects immediately after the specified object. The number of Object instances returned is equal to
the Max-Repetitions field v2 & v3.
Note: Max Repetitions cannot exceed 200.
• To perform a SET operation, click the SET icon ( ) or select the Operations -> Set menu item. This enables setting the
value of the specified object, based on the value in the Set Value field. To do a SET for Octet String Type in hex format,
enter the bytes in hex format with each bytes separated by a colon and the entire string within single quotes. For example, to
give 0xff0a3212 enter 'ff:0a:32:12' in the SetValue field.
11.6 MIB Browser – Table Operations
The Mib Browser provides a user-friendly way for viewing SNMP Table data. The table data can be viewed in a separate win-
dow called SNMP Table Panel. The SNMP Table Panel provides various options for table handling, such as adding a row to the
existing table, viewing graphs, index editor, etc.
Perform the following steps to view the SNMP table in the SNMP Table Panel:
1. Make sure the appropriate MIBs have been loaded.
2. Specify the proper agent hostname or IP address in the host field of the MibBrowser.
3. Specify a valid OID - the OID needs to be a Table OID.
4. The OID can be chosen by browsing the MIB in the MIB Tree.
To view the SNMP Table, click the SNMP TABLE icon or select the View -> SNMP Table menu item. If the selected OID is a
table, this displays an SNMP table. In the SNMP table, click Start to get the columnar objects.
