NAME

6       snmpbulkget  -  communicates  with  a network entity using SNMP GETBULK
7       requests.

SYNOPSIS

10       snmpbulkget [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cn <num>] [-Cr <NUM>] AGENT OID [OID]...
11

DESCRIPTION

13       snmpbulkget is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP  GETBULK  request
14       to  query  a  network  entity efficiently for information.  One or more
15       object identifiers (OIDs) may be given  as  arguments  on  the  command
16       line.   Each  variable  name  is given in the format specified in vari‐
17       ables(5).
18
19       If the network entity has an error processing the  request  packet,  an
20       error  packet  will be returned and a message will be shown, helping to
21       pinpoint why the request was malformed.
22

OPTIONS

24       -Cn<NUM>
25               Set the non-repeaters field in the GETBULK PDU.  This specifies
26               the  number  of  supplied variables that should not be iterated
27               over.  The default is 0.
28
29       -Cr<NUM>
30               Set the max-repetitions field in the GETBULK PDU.  This  speci‐
31               fies  the maximum number of iterations over the repeating vari‐
32               ables.  The default is 10.
33
34       In addition to these options,  snmpbulkget  takes  the  common  options
35       described  in  the  snmpcmd(1)  manual  page.   Note  that  snmpbulkget
36       REQUIRES  an argument specifying the agent to query and  at  least  one
37       OID argument, as described there.

EXAMPLE

40       The command:
41
42       snmpbulkget -v2c -Cn1 -Cr5 -Os -c public zeus system ifTable
43
44       will retrieve the variable system.sysDescr.0 (which is the lexicograph‐
45       ically next object to system) and the first 5 objects in the ifTable:
46
47       sysDescr.0 = STRING: "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m"
48       ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
49       ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
50       ifDescr.1 = STRING: "lo0"
51       et cetera.
52

NOTE

54       As the name implies, snmpbulkget utilizes  the  SNMP  GETBULK  message,
55       which is not available in SNMPv1.
