Each SNMP command line that is to be sent to the switch must begin with a token.
Additional commands are available to manipulate the switch.
You can enter three types of information into an Observer SNMP switch script: SNMP
Script Tokens, Object Types, and Script Keys.
• SNMP Script Commands (called Tokens)—special commands pre-programmed into
the script editor. Tokens are entered by clicking the specific token button on the right
side of the script editor dialog. Note that tokens can be entered by hand (the only
benefit of the script editor is to save on errors in typing the specific token text).
