12.7 SNMP walk
The SNMP walk allows you to gather SNMP information. The right pane contains a list of names
symbolizing specific Object ID‟s on the device. To find out more about the information provided
by the SNMP walk, you will have to check with the vendor. Some vendors provide great details
on what each piece of information means, others, though their devices support SNMP, provide no
documentation on it at all.
