NAME
snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT
requests
SYNOPSIS
snmpgetnext [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cf] OID [OID]...
DESCRIPTION
snmpget is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETNEXT request to
query for information on a network entity. One or more object
identifiers (OIDs) may be given as arguments on the command line. Each
variable name is given in the format specified in variables(5). For
each one, the variable that is lexicographically "next" in the remote
entity's MIB will be returned.
For example:
snmpgetnext -c public zeus interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1
will retrieve the variable interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2:
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = softwareLoopback(24)
If the network entity has an error processing the request packet, an
error message will be shown, helping to pinpoint in what way the
request was malformed.
OPTIONS
snmpgetnext takes the common options described in the snmpcmd(1) manual
page and also the -Cf option described in the snmpget(1) manual page.
