Testing an SMUX peer
The task of testing an SMUX peer is similar
to testing an administration or configuration interface to a device.
All MIB variables should be read to ensure that
they contain the expected values.
All read-write access MIB
variables should be read and written
with many possible values and the tester must ensure
that the results are unsurprising.
Forming
SNMP
requests with the
SNMP
client commands
getone(ADMN),
getmany(ADMN),
and
setany(ADMN)
is often easier and less expensive than using a network management
station. Please refer to the manual pages for these commands for more
detailed information.
Some examples of using these commands follow:
To walk the entire foo MIB module,
use the following command:
getmany localhost public enterprises.9999
To read just the product name from the foo
MIB
module, use the following command:
getone localhost public enterprises.9999.1.1.0
To read the BAUD rate of serial line number 2,
use the following command:
getone localhost public enterprises.9999.1.6.1.2.2
To set the BAUD rate of serial line 2 to a value of 2400 bps,
use the following command:
setany localhost foo enterprises.9999.1.6.1.2.2 -i 2
