Viewing the MIB Tree
Selecting the View Tree button from the Walk Agent MIB dialog displays the Walk Agent
MIB Tree Viewer. The Walk Agent MIB Tree Viewer displays the structure, although not
the values, of the discovered MIB tree.
Setting Values
One of the main uses of the MIB Walker and the Walk Agent List Viewer is to permit you
to explore the SNMP agent by setting values to see what effect different values have on
the actual device and to be sure that objects are writable.
1. To set a value, select any object on the Walk Agent List Viewer and click
on the Set Value button. The Set Value dialog will be displayed. Before
attempting to make any changes, note the present value, so that you can restore the
device to its original state.
2. Enter an appropriate real or test value into the Value textbox.
3. Click the Set Value button. SNMP Extension will attempt to set the given OID to the
entered value.
4. If the attempt to set the value succeeds, the dialog box will be redisplayed with the
Status line reading “Done.”
Be careful to use the proper type of value when setting the value. If you
attempt to set an integer SNMP value to a character string (e.g., “Bob”) it will
be set to zero.
5. If the attempt to set the value fails, an error dialog will be displayed, and the Status
line on the Set Value dialog box will read “Failed” instead of “Done.”
Failure can happen for one or both of two reasons:
• the MIB object you are attempting to set is Read-Only and cannot be reset
• you do not have the proper read-write community name for this device.
