Using the Technician Interface Scripts to Access the MIB
The script files are simple programs consisting of one or more SNMP get
commands that allow you to display menus and values of MIB objects without
having to understand the MIB.
To enter script commands, you must do the following:
1. Use FTP or TFTP to transfer the scripts to a memory card installed in
the router.
2. Enter the run setpath command to access the setpath.bat file to tell the
router where to look for the script files.
You can then enter the
show or monitor script commands with the name of the
script menu you want to display. The
show command displays the statistics at the
time you request them. The
monitor command displays statistics at the time you
request them, and continues to refresh the display so that you can see any changes
to them.
As you become more proficient with the scripts, you can specify a script file menu
option without having to display a menu. For example, the
show at command
displays the AppleTalk script menu, which includes the AARP table option. The
show at aarp command displays the AARP table.
Refer to Using Technician Interface Scripts for detailed instructions on setting up,
loading and using the scripts.
Using the Statistics Manager to Access the MIB
The Statistics Manager tools allow you to monitor a router's status and
performance from the Site Manager workstation. You can access the statistical
values in the MIB by using the following options in the Tools menu of the
Statistics Manager window:
• The Quick Get tool allows you to click your way down the MIB tree to a MIB
attribute and retrieve its values. Because the Quick Get tool is fast and does
not require an initial setup of the screens, this manual refers you to it as an
alternative to using the Technician Interface or the scripts.
The Quick Get tool features a Description button and a Retrieve button.
If you click an attribute and click Description, a new window displays the
description of the attribute from the MIB specification.
