NAME
snmpbulkget - communicates with a network entity using
SNMP GETBULK requests.
SYNOPSIS
snmpbulkget [APPLICATION OPTIONS] [COMMON
OPTIONS] OID [OID]...
DESCRIPTION
snmpbulkget is an SNMP application that
uses the SNMP GETBULK request to query a network entity efficiently
for information. 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 .
If the network entity has an error processing the request
packet, an error packet will be returned and a message will be
shown, helping to pinpoint why the request was malformed.
OPTIONS
- -Cn<NUM>
- Set the non-repeaters field in the GETBULK PDU. This
specifies the number of supplied variables that should not be
iterated over. The default is 0.
- -Cr<NUM>
- Set the max-repetitions field in the GETBULK PDU. This
specifies the maximum number of iterations over the repeating
variables. The default is 10.
In addition to these options, snmpbulkget takes the
common options described in the snmpcmd(1)
manual page.
EXAMPLE
The command:
snmpbulkget -v2c -Cn1 -Cr5 -Os -c public zeus system ifTable
will retrieve the variable system.sysDescr.0 (which is the
lexicographically next object to system) and the first 5 objects in
the ifTable:
sysDescr.0 = STRING: "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1
sun4m"
ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
ifDescr.1 = STRING: "lo0"
et cetera.
NOTE
As the name implies, snmpbulkget utilizes the
SNMP GETBULK message, which is not available in SNMPv1.
