NAME

       snmpwalk - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT requests.

SYNOPSIS

       snmpwalk [APPLICATION OPTIONS] [COMMON OPTIONS] [OID]

DESCRIPTION

       snmpwalk is an SNMP application that uses SNMP GETNEXT requests to query a network entity for a tree of information.

       An  object  identifier  (OID)  may  be  given on the command line.  This OID specifies which portion of the object identifier space will be
       searched using GETNEXT requests.  All variables in the subtree below the given OID are queried and their  values  presented  to	the  user.
       Each variable name is given in the format specified in variables(5).

       If  no  OID  argument  is  present, snmpwalk will search MIB-2.	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, the message "End of MIB" will be displayed.

OPTIONS

       -Cc     Do not check whether the returned OIDs are increasing.  Some agents (LaserJets are an example) return OIDs out of  order,  but  can
	       complete the walk anyway.  Other agents return OIDs that are out of order and can cause snmpwalk to loop indefinitely.  By default,
	       snmpwalk tries to detect this behavior and warns you when it hits an agent acting illegally.  Use -Cc to turn off this behaviour.

       -Ci     Include the given OID in the search range.  Normally snmpwalk uses GETNEXT requests starting with the OID you specified and returns
	       all  results  in  the  MIB  tree  after	that OID.  Sometimes, you may wish to include the OID specified on the command line in the
	       printed results if it is a valid OID in the tree itself.  This option lets you do this.

       -Cp     Upon completion of the walk, print the number of variables found.

       In addition to these options, snmpwalk takes the common options described in the snmpcmd(1) manual page.

EXAMPLE

       The command:

       snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 zeus system

       will retrieve all of the variables under system:

       sysDescr.0 = STRING: "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m"
       sysObjectID.0 = OID: enterprises.hp.nm.hpsystem.10.1.1
       sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (155274552) 17 days, 23:19:05
       sysContact.0 = STRING: ""
       sysName.0 = STRING: "zeus.net.cmu.edu"
       sysLocation.0 = STRING: ""
       sysServices.0 = INTEGER: 72
