EMM-E6 User’s Guide13-1CHAPTER 13MIB NAVIGATORThis chapter describes the procedures required to access the MIBNavigator residing on the EMM-E6. The MIB Navigator Command Set isdescribed and examples of each command are provided.13.1 MANAGING DEVICE MIBsThe MIB Navigator allows access to a command set from which you canconfigure and manage your device. The MIB Navigator enables you tomanage objects in the device MIBs (Management Information Bases).MIBs are databases of objects used for managing the device anddetermining your EMME’s configuration. The commands within the MIBNavigator allow you to view and modify a device’s objects.The MIB Navigator views the MIB tree hierarchy as a directory (Figure13-1). Each layer is numerically encoded, so that every branch group andleaf object in the MIB is identified by a corresponding number, known asan Object Identifier (OID). This allows the MIB Navigator to navigatethrough the MIB and access the manageable leaf objects.Figure 13-1. Hierarchical MIB Tree StructureOften an ASCII name is assigned to a leaf object’s OID, making it morereadable. To identify the value for the object “ip Forwarding” you woulduse the OID (/1/3/6/1/2/1/4/1), or its ASCII name (/iso/org/dod/internet/mgmt/mib-2/ip/ipForwarding).Root 1Group 1.1Group 1.2Group 1.3Object 1.1.1Object 1.1.2Object 1.2.1Object 1.2.2Object 1.3.1Object 1.3.2
