  • Page 72: Get/Set Operations

    D-View 5.1 User’s Guide information, called MIB objects, are kept in an SNMP device, where they can be readily accessed and modified by the device agent at the request of the network administrator. Basically, management is achieved through transactions between the SNMP agent on the device and the management console.

  • Page 73: Mib Listing

    D-View 5.1 User’s Guide When the management console needs to modify the value of a particular MIB object, it sends a SET request to the device SNMP agent and the numerical representation of the target MIB object followed by the new value. For example, if the management console wants to assign a new name to a device, it sends a SET request to the device SNMP agent followed by the numerical representation of the sysName MIB object, which is 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0.

The compiler can communicate with a remote device (bridge, switch, or router) to get the current value or to set a new value for the MIB object of interest. This is achieved by sending SNMP requests and receiving SNMP responses to get/set the value of the object of the MIB, which resides in an SNMP enabled device.
