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 .
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.
