SNMPBULKGET(1) Net-SNMP SNMPBULKGET(1)
NAME
snmpbulkget - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETBULK requests.
SYNOPSIS
snmpbulkget [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cn <num>] [-Cr <NUM>] AGENT 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
variables(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 sup-
plied 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 num-
ber of iterations over the repeating variables. The default is 10.
In addition to these options, snmpbulkget takes the common options described in the snm-
pcmd(1) manual page. Note that snmpbulkget REQUIRES an argument specifying the agent to
query and at least one OID argument, as described there.
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.
