| .UC 4 |
| .SH NAME |
| snmpbulkwalk - communicates with a network entity using SNMP BULK Requests. |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| snmpbulkwalk [common arguments] [objectID] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Snmpbulkwalk is an SNMP application that uses BULK Requests to query for a |
| tree of information about a network entity. |
| .PP |
| A variable may also be given on the command line. This variable specifies |
| which portion of the object identifier space will be searched using BULK |
| Requests. All variables in the subtree below the given variable are queried |
| as a single request and their values presented to the user. Each variable |
| name is given in the format specified in |
| .IR variables (5). |
| .PP |
| If the "objectID" argument is not present, snmpbulkwalk will search MIB-2. |
| .PP |
| For example |
| .PP |
| .I snmpbulkwalk -v 2c zeus public system |
| .PP |
| will retrieve all of the variables under system: |
| .PP |
| .I system.sysDescr.0 |
| = "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m" |
| .br |
| .I system.sysObjectID.0 |
| = OID: enterprises.hp.nm.hpsystem.10.1.1 |
| .br |
| .I system.sysUpTime.0 |
| = Timeticks: (155274552) 17 days, 23:19:05 |
| .br |
| .I system.sysContact.0 |
| = "" |
| .br |
| .I system.sysName.0 |
| = "zeus.net.cmu.edu" |
| .br |
| .I system.sysLocation.0 |
| = "" |
| .br |
| .I system.sysServices.0 |
| = 72 |
| .PP |
| 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. |
| .PP |
| If the tree search causes attempts to search beyond the end of the MIB, a |
| message will be displayed: |
| .PP |
| .I End of MIB. |
| .PP |
| .SH NOTE |
| As the name implies, snmpbulkwalk utilizes the SNMP GETBULK message, |
| which is not available in SNMP v1. |
| .PP |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| snmpcmd(1), variables(5). |
