snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using
SNMP GET NEXT Requests.
SYNOPSIS
snmpgetnext [ common arguments ] objectID [objectID]...
DESCRIPTION
Snmpget is an SNMP application that uses the GET NEXT
Request to query for information on a network entity. One
or more object identifiers may be given as arguments on
the command line. Each variable name is given in the for
mat specified in variables(5). For each one, the variable
that is lexicographicly "next" in the remote entity's MIB
will be returned.
For example
snmpgetnext zeus public interfaces.ifTable.ifEn
try.ifType.1
will retrieve the variable interfaces.ifTable.ifEn
try.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 pin
point in what way the request was malformed.
