snmpbulkget(1M) System Administration Commands snmpbulkget(1M)NAMEsnmpbulkget - communicate with a network entity using SNMP GETBULK
requests
SYNOPSISsnmpbulkget [application options] [common options] oid [oid...]
DESCRIPTION
The snmpbulkget utility is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GET‐
BULK operation to send information to a network manager. You can spec‐
ify one or more object identifiers (OIDs) on the command line. Each
variable name must be entered in the format specified in snmp_vari‐
ables(4).
If the network entity has an error processing the request packet, an
error packet is returned and a message displayed, indicating the way in
which the request was malformed.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-Cnnum
Set the non-repeaters field in the GETBULK PDU. This specifies the
number of supplied variables that should not be iterated over. The
default is 0.
-Crnum
Set the max-repetitions field in the GETBULK PDU. This specifies
the maximum number of iterations over the repeating variables. The
default is 10.
In addition to this option, snmpbulkget takes the common options
described in the snmpcmd(1M) manual page.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Retrieving Multiple Objects
The following snmpbulkget command retrieves the variable system.sysDe‐
scr.0 (which is the lexicographically next object to system) and the
first five objects in the ifTable:
# snmpbulkget-v2c -Cn1 -Cr5 -Os -c public zeus system ifTable
This command produces output such as the following:
sysDescr.0 = STRING: "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m"
ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
ifDescr.1 = STRING: "lo0"
