Technical data

Accessing the MIB
303561-A Rev 00
7-7
<value> is the required new value of an instance of an object. This value may be
one of the following, depending on the data type:
• Integer, unsigned integer types: decimal number
• IP addresses: dotted-decimal format (for example, 192.32.0.0)
• Octet strings: hexadecimal numbers starting with 0x
• Display strings: strings enclosed in double quotes
See the Bay Networks MIB to determine the data type.
Also, make sure that the values you set are legal. Illegal or incompatible MIB
values can disrupt software or network services after you enter the
commit
command. See the Bay Networks MIB for the legal values.
You can use the
list command or see the Bay Networks MIB to determine the
symbolic names and identifiers for object groups and attributes.
Use the
commit command (described in the next section, “Committing MIB
Sets”) to notify the software services of the MIB changes accomplished with the
set command. Then, to copy the changes you make to a configuration file, use the
save command (described in “Saving the Configuration” on page 7-9).
Caution:
If you are running spanning tree, always follow any Technician
Interface
set
command to the bridge with the corresponding Technician
Interface
set
command to the spanning tree. Otherwise, you may lose
connectivity to LANs. See the last two examples in this section.
Note:
Be sure to enter
commit
after entering the
set
command (see the next
section, “Committing MIB Sets
,” for instructions).
