is possible for it to do so. If it is not possible for 3Com Network Director
to translate the entire object identifier then the remainder will be shown
using numerical values.
Using the example given above, 3Com Network Director translates 1 to
iso, 3 to org, 6 to dod, and so on. It cannot translate any further than
translating 10 to generic, and so the following is displayed:
iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.a3Com.generic.22.2.1.4.1.7.0.4.
11
Collapsed name decode: Collapsed name decode works in a similar
manner to full name decode. However, only the right-most successfully
translated object identifier and any untranslated identifiers following this
are shown.
Using the example from above, 3Com Network Director is able to
translate as far as translating 10 to generic. It then strips off the
preceding iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.a3Com to show:
generic.22.2.1.4.1.7.0.4.11
In addition, the Display octet strings as ASCII checkbox in the Format
section at the bottom right allows you to control whether or not octet
strings should be converted to their textual equivalent or simply displayed
as raw list of hexadecimal codes.
Octet strings are often used to hold ASCII encoded text within SNMP trap
varbinds. Checking this checkbox can simplify the diagnosis of the cause
of an SNMP trap-based event containing such an octet string within its
varbinds.
Event System
Configuration
This section describes how to configure the events system in order to
restrict the events generated so that only relevant events are logged in
the event system.

If a particular event or set of events is of no interest to you then you can
prevent events of that type being generated in future by selecting the
