Accessing a Foreign Management
Information Base
Use these two commands in conjunction with the SNMP agent and the
IP routing application to provide access to the enterprise-specific
section of the MIB of any remote node—other than an HP or Wellfleet
router—that provides a standard SNMP/MIB implementation. You must
use a complete MIB pathname with these commands.
For More Information This section lists the remote MIB commands
together with their syntax and functions. For a more detailed descrip-
tion of these commands, refer to the HP Router Operator’s Reference.
Command Syntax The following example of the Rget command dem-
onstrates the conventions used in this table:
rget identifier [x.x.x.x] [community]
where:
rgetw is the command name
identifier is a required value that you provide
[x.x.x.x] and [community] are optional values that you provide
Command Function
rget identifier [x.x.x.x] [community] Display the value of an individual MIB
variable from a remote foreign node.
Rgetm identifier [x.x.x.x] [community] Display the value of a branch of MIB
variables from a remote foreign node.
These commands display their output on the console screen. To output
the display to a printer or file instead of the console screen, place the
command syntax within the Print command. For detailed information on
the Print command, refer to the Operator’s Reference.
