SNMPWALK(1)SNMPWALK(1)NAMEsnmpwalk - communicates with a network entity using SNMP
GET Next Requests.
SYNOPSISsnmpwalk [common arguments] [-C APPOPTS] [objectID]
DESCRIPTION
Snmpwalk is an SNMP application that uses GET NEXT
Requests to query for a tree of information about a net
work entity.
A variable may also be given on the command line. This
variable specifies which portion of the object identifier
space will be searched using GET NEXT Requests. All vari
ables in the subtree below the given variable are queried
and their values presented to the user. Each variable
name is given in the format specified in variables(5).
If the "objectID" argument is not present, snmpwalk will
search MIB-2.
For example
snmpwalk zeus public system
will retrieve all of the variables under system:
system.sysDescr.0 = "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1
sun4m"
system.sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.hp.nm.hpsys_
tem.10.1.1
system.sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (155274552) 17 days,
23:19:05
system.sysContact.0 = ""
system.sysName.0 = "zeus.net.cmu.edu"
system.sysLocation.0 = ""
system.sysServices.0 = 72
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.
If the tree search causes attempts to search beyond the
end of the MIB, a message will be displayed:
End of MIB.
OPTIONS
In addition to the arguments defined in the snmpcmd(1)
manual page, the following options are supported as well:

SNMPWALK(1)SNMPWALK(1)-Ci Includes the requested oid in the search range.
Normally snmpwalk uses getnexts starting with the
oid you request and returns all results in the MIB
tree below the one you requested. Sometimes, you
may wish to include the OID specified on the com
mand line in the printed results if it is a valid
OID in the tree itself. This option lets you do
this.
-Cp Upon completion, snmpwalk will print the number of
variables found during the walk.
