| .TH SNMPGETNEXT 1 "04 Mar 2002" VVERSIONINFO "Net-SNMP" |
| .SH NAME |
| snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT requests |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .B snmpgetnext |
| [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cf] AGENT OID [OID]... |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B snmpget |
| is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETNEXT request to query for |
| information on a network entity. 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 |
| .IR variables(5) . |
| For each one, the variable that is lexicographically "next" in the |
| remote entity's MIB will be returned. |
| .PP |
| For example: |
| .PP |
| snmpgetnext -c public zeus interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1 |
| .PP |
| will retrieve the variable interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2: |
| .PP |
| interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = softwareLoopback(24) |
| .PP |
| 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. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP 8 |
| .B -Cf |
| If |
| .B -Cf |
| is |
| .I not |
| specified, some applications |
| .RB ( 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. |
| .PP |
| In addition to this option, |
| .B snmpgetnext |
| takes the common options described in the |
| .I snmpcmd(1) |
| manual page. |
| Note that |
| .B snmpgetnext |
| REQUIRES an argument specifying the agent to query |
| and at least one OID argument, as described there. |
| .SH "SEE ALSO" |
| snmpcmd(1), snmpget(1), variables(5). |
