[SNMPBULKGET(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/SNMPBULKGET/1/markdown)                                Net-SNMP                                [SNMPBULKGET(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/SNMPBULKGET/1/markdown)



## 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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/ables/5/markdown)_.

       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
               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
               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)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/pcmd/1/markdown)_ 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.
