SNMPGETNEXT(1)                                Net-SNMP                                SNMPGETNEXT(1)



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

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

DESCRIPTION
       snmpgetnext  is  an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETNEXT request to query for informa‐
       tion on a network entity.  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 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
       -Cf     If -Cf is not specified, some applications (snmpdelta, snmpget, snmpgetnext and snmp‐‐
               status) will try to fix errors returned by the agent that you were talking to and re‐
               send the request.  The only time this is really useful is if you specified a OID that
               didn't  exist in your request and you're using SNMPv1 which requires "all or nothing"
               kinds of requests.

       In addition to this option, snmpgetnext takes the common options described in the  snmpcmd(1)
       manual page.  Note that snmpgetnext REQUIRES an argument specifying the agent to query and at
       least one OID argument, as described there.
