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.
