MIB Walker Advanced Parameters
Use this dialog to configure the advanced parameters for the SNMP MIB Walker network tool.
Enter the appropriate information in the following fields:
- Timeout. Enter a value for the timeout (in seconds).
Retries. Enter a value for the number of retries on the search.
- Output type. Select the format for which you want the MIB object information displayed. There are three display formats:
- Tree. Lists the MIB object in a tree structure format. This format is most useful in showing the OID hierarchy.
- List - Numeric OIDs. Lists the objects in a tabular format showing OIDs in a row numeric format. This format is especially helpful if you do not have the MIB file for the device objects. It provides the raw OID information that you can use in Custom Performance Monitors and Active Script Performance Monitors. Also, you can click the individual OID digits to display more or less MIB object information. For example, in the dialog below, if you click the left-most digit "1" in the OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0, all of the available sub-nodes display. If you click the right-most digit "1", only the sub-nodes of this digit display. As you click OID digits, the digits further to the left expand the sub-node information of the respective digits. As you click OID digits further to the right, the sub-node information expands for the respective digit and therefore more granular sub-node information.
- List - Labels. Lists the objects in a tabular format with user friendly labels. If the MIB for the object is not loaded, labels will default to numeric OIDs. Click an OID label name to expand the sub-nodes and view more information.
- Tree. Lists the MIB object in a tree structure format. This format is most useful in showing the OID hierarchy.
- Maximum number of lines displayed. Select the number of lines you want to view when the MIB file is searched/traversed. If you want to display all of the contents of the MIB file, select Unlimited.
Note: This value controls the number of lines the SNMP MIB Walker will render onscreen, not the number of lines in the MIB file it will process.
Click OK to save the advanced parameters.
Note: After you click OK to return to the SNMP MIB Walker main page, click Walk to see changes that you made in the Advanced dialog take affect.
