SNMP Client Walk Rules
SNMP Client Walk Rules are where you configure the device to query other SNMP devices for data by walking a table in that device, and store that data in local data objects. This page shows a list of currently configured rules. The "table walk" will consist of a series of SNMP Get-Next requests resulting in retrieving multiple data values with one walk rule.
- Click on the rule number or pencil icon to jump to the rule editing page for this rule.
- Click on the trash can icon to delete this rule.
To add or insert new rules, enter a number of rules to add, and select a starting point. Then click the Add button.
The Set Source Info button is a diagnostic tool. You do not want multiple client functions (from all protocols combined) trying to store data into the same local object. Doing so would result in erroneous data (data would jump back and forth showing the most recently read data from any source). If you only have one source of data, then this isn't an issue. But if there will be multiple sources of data, then use the Set Source Info button to "claim" objects for this protocol function (e.g. SNMP Walk).
If objects have already been claimed in another protocol and you try to claim the same objects, you will see one or more error messages displayed at the top of the screen. Go to the Data Objects -> Object Status page to see where objects have been claimed. The Clear Source Info button is also found on the Data Objects -> Object Status page. To clear the claims and try again, use that button. Clicking the Set Source Info button more than once will also result in error messages since objects have already been claimed once.
