NAME
       snmpbulkget - communicate with a network entity using SNMP GETBULK requests

SYNOPSIS
       snmpbulkget [application options] [common options] oid [oid...]

DESCRIPTION
       The snmpbulkget utility is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETBULK 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.sysDescr.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"
       [...]
