NAME
snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT
requests
SYNOPSIS
snmpgetnext [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cf] AGENT OID [OID]...
DESCRIPTION
snmpgetnext is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETNEXT request
to query for information on a network entity. One or more object iden-
tifiers (OIDs) may be given as arguments on the command line. Each
variable name is given in the format specified in variables(5). 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
-Cf If -Cf is not specified, some applications (snmpdelta, snmpget,
snmpgetnext and snmpstatus) will try to fix errors returned by
the agent that you were talking to and resend the request. The
only time this is really useful is if you specified a OID that
didn't exist in your request and you're using SNMPv1 which
requires "all or nothing" kinds of requests.
In addition to this option, snmpgetnext takes the common options
described in the snmpcmd(1) manual page. Note that snmpgetnext
REQUIRES an argument specifying the agent to query and at least one OID
argument, as described there.
