SiteScope User's Guide


SNMP

The SNMP tool lets you query a SNMP Management Information Base (MIB)and retrieve a set of OIDs.

Fill out the SNMP tool form as shown below then click the Next Block of OIDs button to perform the query (GET).

Host IP Address
Enter the IP Address of the server that hosts the SNMP MIB you want to query. By default, this will connect to port 161. If your SNMP device is using a different port, add it to the hostname using ":port". For example, to use port 170, you would enter demo.sitescope.com:170.

Next OID
Enter the OID of the next OID that should be retrieved.

Index
Enter the index of the SNMP object. Values for an OID come as either scalar or indexed (array) values. For a scalar OID, the index value must be set to 0. For an indexed value, you must provide the index (a positive integer starting with 1) to the element that contains the value you want. For example, the OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.17 is an indexed value that contains four elements. To access this second element of this OID you enter an index of 2 in this text box.

Community
Enter the Community string for the SNMP device. Most devices use "public" as a community string. If the device you are testing requires a different Community string, supply it in this box.

Version (V1 or V2)
Select the SNMP version used by the SNMP host you want to test. SiteScope supports both SNMP version 1 and version 2.

Number of Records to get
Enter the number of OID record to retrieve.

The SNMP OID's returned by the SNMP Tool are displayed in the lower portion of the screen.
