SNMPGETNEXT(1)                                                       Net-SNMP                                                       SNMPGETNEXT(1)

NAME
       snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT requests

SYNOPSIS
       snmpgetnext [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cf] OID [OID]...

DESCRIPTION
       snmpget is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETNEXT request to query for information on a network entity.  One or more object identi-
       fiers (OIDs) may be given as arguments on the command line.  Each variable name is given in the format specified in variables(5).  For each
       one, the variable that is lexicographically "next" in the remote entity's MIB will be returned.

       For example:

       snmpgetnext -c public zeus interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1

       will retrieve the variable interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2:

       interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = softwareLoopback(24)

       If  the  network  entity  has  an  error processing the request packet, an error message will be shown, helping to pinpoint in what way the
       request was malformed.

OPTIONS
       snmpgetnext takes the common options described in the snmpcmd(1) manual page and also the -Cf option described  in  the  snmpget(1)  manual
       page.
