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 numer-
ical 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 (compati-
ble 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
o snmptranslate -On -IR sysDescr
will translate "sysDescr" to a more qualified form:
system.sysDescr
o snmptranslate -Onf -IR sysDescr
will translate "sysDecr" to:
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr
o 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."
