To obtain a value for any of the MIB Objects in Table 44-5:
Figure 44-13 and Figure 44-14 are examples of using the command
snmpget to obtain a MIB object value.
These examples assume that:
• the server OS is Unix
• you are using SNMP version 2c
• the community name is public, and
• the file f10-copy-config.mib is in the current directory.
Figure 44-13 shows the command syntax using MIB object names, and Figure 44-14 shows the same
command using the object OIDs. In both cases, the object is followed by same index number used in the
snmpset command.

Manage VLANs using SNMP
The qBridgeMIB managed objects in the Q-BRIDGE-MIB, defined in RFC 2674, enable you to use SNMP
manage VLANs.
Create a VLAN
Use the dot1qVlanStaticRowStatus object to create a VLAN. The snmpset operation in Figure 44-15
creates VLAN 10 by specifying a value of 4 for instance 10 of the dot1qVlanStaticRowStatus object.
Step Task
1 Get a copy-config MIB object value.
snmpset -v 2c -c public -m ./f10-copy-config.mib force10system-ip-address [OID.index |
mib-object.index
• index is the index value used in the snmpset command used to complete the copy operation.
Note: You can use the entire OID rather than the object name. Use the form: OID.index, as shown in
Figure 44-13.
Note: In Unix, enter the command snmpset for help using this command.
