Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager
8-4 117347-A Rev. A
Table 8-2 lists each Statistics Manager tool.
The following sections describe each of these tools.
Quick Get Tool
The Quick Get tool lets you view the MIB and retrieve instances of selected MIB
objects from the router. The Bay Networks MIB is a Bay Networks proprietary
database that contains the router’s configuration parameters and statistics.
Quick Get enables you to debug your network, for example, by monitoring MIB
objects, and provides an easy way to view the MIB and decide which objects you
want to include in your customized statistics windows.
Quick Get includes a MIB browser, which you use to scroll through the MIB and
select objects about which you want information. Quick Get retrieves all instances
of the specified MIB objects and displays the statistics in a window.
Screen Builder Tool
The Screen Builder tool lets you create custom statistics screens. The MIB
browser lets you select up to nine objects to be included in a window. For each
object you select, you design the display of the statistics window as follows:
• Column heading
• Column width
• Format of the display (decimal or hexadecimal)
You can also use the Screen Builder to edit custom windows. For example, you
can redefine the display, and add or delete objects from the window.
