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 en‐
       tity efficiently for information.  One or more object identifiers (OIDs) may be given as  ar‐
       guments  on  the  command line.  Each variable name is given in the format specified in vari‐
       ables(5).

       If the network entity has an error processing the request packet, an error packet will be re‐
       turned 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 number
               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.
