3. Press ENTER. If there is no instance of that OID, the return code will 

specify “MIB_NO_INSTANCE”, otherwise “DATA TYPE:” 
appears.

4. Enter the data type for that OID. The following are possible choices: 

integer, string, null, OID, IP address, counter, gauge, timeticks, and 
opaque.

5. Press ENTER. “DATA” appears.

6. Enter the value to correspond to the OID. If accepted, “<SET> 

OPERATION CODE: XXXX <OK>” appears, otherwise an error 
message appears.

Viewing several object identifiers at one time allows the user to quickly 
scan a MIB for the specific information that is needed. The WALK 
command scrolls through OIDs numerically sequential to the initial OID 
request. The STEP command scrolls the MIB Walk, one OID at a time. 
Cycling allows you to specify how many GETNEXT commands to cycle 
through for one OID.

Use the following steps to WALK through an OID:

1. Highlight WALK, using the arrow keys, then press ENTER. 

“<INITIAL> OID (=|F9)” appears.

2. Enter the OID (minus the prepend) and press ENTER. The screen will 

begin walking through the sublayers of the MIB available from the 
specified OID. Each OID listed displays the specified OID, its size, its 
type, and the data it contains.

3. Press the SPACE bar to stop the walk, or wait for “***MIB WALK 

COMPLETED***” to appear on the screen.
