snmpbulkget - communicates with a network entity using
SNMP BULK Requests.
SYNOPSIS
snmpbulkget [common arguments] [objectID]...
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the common arguments, snmpbulkget takes one
specific argument
-B <nonrep> <rep>
where nonrep specifies the number of input vari
ables that should not repeat, and rep is the maxi
mum number of repetitions of the rest of the vari
ables. The default is -B 0 100.
For example
snmpbulkwalk -v 2c -B 1 10 zeus public system interfaces
will retrieve the variable system.sysDescr.0 (which is the
lexicographically next object to system) and the first 10
objects of the interfaces group.
system.sysDescr.0 = "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1
sun4m"
interfaces.ifNumber.0 = 2
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex.1 = 1
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex.2 = 2
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.1 = "lo0"
et cetera.
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.
NOTE
As the name implies, snmpbulkget utilizes the SNMP GETBULK
message, which is not available in SNMP v1.
