NAME¶
snmptranslate - translate MIB OID names between numeric and textual forms
SYNOPSIS¶
snmptranslate [OPTIONS] OID [OID]...
DESCRIPTION¶
snmptranslate is an application that translates one or more SNMP object
identifier values from their symbolic (textual) forms into their numerical
forms (or vice versa).
OID is either a numeric or textual object identifier.
OPTIONS¶
- -D TOKEN[,...]
- Turn on debugging output for the given TOKEN(s). Try
ALL for extremely verbose output.
- -h
- Display a brief usage message and then exit.
- -m MIBLIST
- Specifies a colon separated list of MIB modules to load for
this application. This overrides the environment variable MIBS.
- The special keyword ALL is used to specify all
modules in all directories when searching for MIB files. Every file whose
name does not begin with "." will be parsed as if it were a MIB
file.
- -M DIRLIST
- Specifies a colon separated list of directories to search
for MIBs. This overrides the environment variable MIBDIRS.
- -T TRANSOPTS
- Provides control over the translation of the OID values.
The following TRANSOPTS are available:
- -Td
- Print full details of the specified OID.
- -Tp
- Print a graphical tree, rooted at the specified OID.
- -Ta
- Dump the loaded MIB in a trivial form.
- -Tl
- Dump a labeled form of all objects.
- -To
- Dump a numeric form of all objects.
- -Ts
- Dump a symbolic form of all objects.
- -Tt
- Dump a tree form of the loaded MIBs (mostly useful for
debugging).
- -Tz
- Dump a numeric and labeled form of all objects (compatible
with MIB2SCHEMA format).
- -V
- Display version information for the application and then
exit.
- -w WIDTH
- Specifies the width of -Tp and -Td output.
The default is very large.
In addition to the above options,
snmptranslate takes the OID input
(
-I), MIB parsing (
-M) and OID output (
-O) options
described in the
INPUT OPTIONS,
MIB PARSING OPTIONS and
OUTPUT OPTIONS sections of the
snmpcmd(1) manual page.
EXAMPLES¶
- •
- snmptranslate -On -IR sysDescr
will translate "sysDescr" to a more qualified form:
- system.sysDescr
- •
- snmptranslate -Onf -IR sysDescr
will translate "sysDecr" to:
- .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr
- •
- snmptranslate -Td -OS system.sysDescr
will translate "sysDecr" into:
-
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr
sysDescr OBJECT-TYPE
-- FROM SNMPv2-MIB
-- TEXTUAL CONVENTION DisplayString
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (0..255)
DISPLAY-HINT "255a"
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION "A textual description of the entity. This
value should include the full name and
version identification of the system's
hardware type, software operating-system,
and networking software."
::= { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) mgmt(2) mib-2(1) system(1) 1 }
