SNMP
Using the SNMP MIB
After you have successfully connected to the IOLAN through your SNMP Management tool or MIB 
browser, expand the 
PERLE-IOLAN-SDS-MIB
 folder to see the IOLAN’s parameter folders. Below is 
an example of the configurable parameters under the 
ServicesInfo
 folder.
The first variable in each folder is the 
Status
 variable, for example, 
serviceStatus
. When you 
perform a 
GET
 on this variable, one of the following values will be returned:
z
1—Indicates that the container folder is active with no changes.
z
2—Indicates that the container folder is active with change(s).
Once you have completed setting the variables in a folder, you will want to submit your changes to 
the IOLAN. To do this, set the 
Status
 variable to 
4
. If you want to discard the changes, set the 
Status
 
variable to 
6
.
z
4—Indicates that the changes in the container folder are to be submitted to the IOLAN.
z
6—Indicates that the changes in the container folder are to be discarded.
If you want to save all the changes that have been submitted to the IOLAN, you need to expand the 
adminInfo
 container folder and 
SET
 the 
adminFunction
 to 
1
 to write to FLASH. To make the 
configuration changes take effect, 
SET
 the 
adminFunction
 to 
3
 to reboot the IOLAN.
