SelectNode Method

Used to select individual nodes in the loaded MIB module(s).

Syntax

mibbrowser.selectNode(selector, [callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

SelectNode is used for selecting individual nodes and should be called before querying node information.

The Selector parameter can be a label such as "internet", an OID such as "1.3.6.4", a combination of the two: "iso.3.dod.internet", or a label in a particular module such as "RFC1213-MIB!interfaces".

Either '.' or ':' can be used to separate SubIds. If a SubId starts with "0x" or follows the ":" separator then its hexadecimal value is used. For instance, "0x1.0x3.0x6.0x1A" is the same as "1:3:6:1A".

All properties and methods of the class will operate on the selected node. For example, calling ListSuccessors will only list the successors of the selected node.
