Managing Routers and BNX Platforms
1-10
The following sections describe each of these tools, as well as how to get online
help. Later, we describe where the Statistics Manager stores default and
custom-built statistics files on your UNIX workstation or PC.
For more information about monitoring statistics, see Chapter 4. For information
on file-based performance statistics (available only with BNX software), refer to
Gathering and Interpreting Performance Data (BNX Software).
Using the Quick Get Tool
You use Quick Get to view the MIB and retrieve instances of selected MIB objects
from the router. The Bay Networks MIB is a Bay Networks proprietary database
that contains the router’s configuration parameters and statistics.
Quick Get includes a MIB Browser, which you use to scroll through the MIB and
select those objects about which you want to retrieve information. Quick Get
retrieves all instances of the specified MIB objects and displays the statistics in a
window.
Quick Get helps you debug your network (for example, if you want to monitor
MIB objects). It is also an easy way to view the MIB and decide which objects
you want to include on your customized statistics screens.
