Configuration and Operation

sysObjectID_Value

This parameter identifies a value for the MIB variable 

 from 

the MIB-II in dot notation, beginning with a period, for example: 
“.1.3.6.1.4.1.231.1.3.1” - this is the value returned by all SINIX-N 
systems as a 

. All nodes returning this value for 

 are 

to be tested for support of the MIB variables with object identifier 

.

In NetView you can use the “Configuration - System Information” menu 
item to check if a specific node returns a value for 

 and which 

value is returned.

MIB_ObjectID

This parameter identifies a MIB variable that must be supported by each 
individual node in order to receive the new symbol type. This variable is 
specified with the object instance (always “.0” for scalar objects) without 
the period prefix. For example, “1.3.6.1.4.1.231.2.10.2.1.3.0” identifies 
the object 

 from the inventory MIB.

New_Symbol_Type

This parameter identifies the symbol type to be assigned to all symbols 
(in the open map) of a node supporting the specified MIB variable. This 
symbol type must be a type already known in NetView, and is specified 
by entering the symbol class and symbol subclass, separated by a colon, 
e.g. 

. You can view the symbol types defined in 

NetView by selecting the 

 menu option. If this parameter is 

not a symbol type known in NetView, the Poll application terminates 
immediately.

Blank lines and comment lines (which must start with “#” in the first column) are 
permitted in this configuration file.

The lines of the configuration file are compared against each node in the order 
in which they are specified. If there are several lines with the same 

, only the first line specified is valid; other lines with the same 

 are ignored. The node is always tested only for support of the 

MIB variables from the first matching line. In this case, “matching” means that 
the node returns the specified value for the MIB variable 

 and there 

is no symbol representing the node in the open map which has the symbol type 

.
