NAME
snmpbulkget - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETBULK
requests.
SYNOPSIS
snmpbulkget [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cn <num>] [-Cr <NUM>] AGENT 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 vari-
ables(5).
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 speci-
fies the maximum number of iterations over the repeating vari-
ables. The default is 10.
In addition to these options, snmpbulkget takes the common options
described in the snmpcmd(1) manual page. Note that snmpbulkget
REQUIRES an argument specifying the agent to query and at least one
OID argument, as described there.
EXAMPLE
The command:
snmpbulkget -v2c -Cn1 -Cr5 -Os -c public zeus system ifTable
will retrieve the variable system.sysDescr.0 (which is the lexicograph-
ically 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.
