Using the SNMP Browser

This topic describes how to use the SNMP Browser task in IBM® Director.

You can use the SNMP Browser task to view and configure the attributes of SNMP devices, for example, hubs, routers, or other SNMP-compliant management devices. You can use the SNMP Browser for SNMP-based management, troubleshooting, or monitoring the performance of SNMP devices.

To start the SNMP Browser, in the IBM Director Console Tasks pane, drag the SNMP Browser task onto an SNMP device.

In the SNMP Browser window Device Information pane, expand the tree to view the SNMP information.

When you select an attribute in the Device Information pane, the right pane splits and displays the Value and Details panes. The Value pane displays the value of the selected attribute. The Details pane displays the characteristics of the selected attribute, including, for example, the type and access status of the device attribute and a description of the device attribute. If a snap-in is available for the selected attribute, it is displayed in the Selected Object pane in place of the default value and characteristics information.
