SNMPTRANSLATE(1)SNMPTRANSLATE(1)NAMEsnmptranslate - translate SNMP objects into more useful
information
SYNOPSISsnmptranslate [-h] [-V] [-I INOPTS] [-O OUTOPTS] [-P
MIBOPTS] [-T TRANSOPTS] objectID
DESCRIPTION
Snmptranslate is an application that translates an SNMP
object (SMI value or symbolic form) into another form of
information. With no other options, an SNMP object will
be translated to its SMI value.
The options have the following meanings:
-h Print help message
-V Print version message and exit
-I INOPTS
See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the
OID input options
-O OUTOPTS
See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the
OID output options
-P MIBOPTS
See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the
MIB parsing options
-T TRANSOPTS
Translate an SNMP object to its symbolic form. The
following TRANSOPTS are available:
-Td print full details of the specified OID
-Tp print a graphical tree, rooted at the specified OID
-Ta dump the loaded MIB in a trivial form
-Tl dump a labeled form of all objects
-To dump a numeric form of all objects
-Ts dump a symbolic form of all objects
-Tt dump a tree form of the loaded mibs (mostly useful
for debugging)
-w width
specify width of -Tp and -Td output. Default is
very large
