NAME

       snmpbulkget - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETBULK requests.

SYNOPSIS

       snmpbulkget [APPLICATION OPTIONS] [COMMON OPTIONS] OID [OID]...

DESCRIPTION

       snmpbulkget  is	an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETBULK request to query a network entity efficiently for information.  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  vari-
       ables(5).

       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.

OPTIONS

       -Cn<NUM>
	       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.

       -Cr<NUM>
	       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 these options, snmpbulkget takes the common options described in the snmpcmd(1) manual page.

EXAMPLE

       The command:

       snmpbulkget -v2c -Cn1 -Cr5 -Os -c public zeus system ifTable

       will retrieve the variable system.sysDescr.0 (which is the lexicographically next object to system) and the first 5 objects in the ifTable:

       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"
       et cetera.

NOTE

       As the name implies, snmpbulkget utilizes the SNMP GETBULK message, which is not available in SNMPv1.
