NAME

6       snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT re‐
7       quests

SYNOPSIS

10       snmpgetnext [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cf] AGENT OID [OID]...
11

DESCRIPTION

13       snmpgetnext is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP  GETNEXT  request
14       to query for information on a network entity.  One or more object iden‐
15       tifiers (OIDs) may be given as arguments on  the  command  line.   Each
16       variable  name  is  given in the format specified in variables(5).  For
17       each one, the variable that is lexicographically "next" in  the  remote
18       entity's MIB will be returned.
19
20       For example:
21
22       snmpgetnext -c public zeus interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1
23
24       will retrieve the variable interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2:
25
26       interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = softwareLoopback(24)
27
28       If  the  network  entity has an error processing the request packet, an
29       error message will be shown, helping to pinpoint in what  way  the  re‐
30       quest was malformed.
31

OPTIONS

33       -Cf     If -Cf is not specified, some applications (snmpdelta, snmpget,
34               snmpgetnext and snmpstatus) will try to fix errors returned  by
35               the agent that you were talking to and resend the request.  The
36               only time this is really useful is if you specified a OID  that
37               didn't  exist in your request and you're using SNMPv1 which re‐
38               quires "all or nothing" kinds of requests.
39
40       In addition to this option, snmpgetnext takes the  common  options  de‐
41       scribed  in the snmpcmd(1) manual page.  Note that snmpgetnext REQUIRES
42       an argument specifying the agent to query and at least  one  OID  argu‐
43       ment, as described there.
