SNMPTRANSLATE(1)                              Net-SNMP                              SNMPTRANSLATE(1)



NAME
       snmptranslate - translate MIB OID names between numeric and textual forms

SYNOPSIS
       snmptranslate [OPTIONS] OID [OID]...
       snmptranslate [OPTIONS] -

DESCRIPTION
       snmptranslate  is  an  application  that translates one or more SNMP object identifier values
       from their symbolic (textual) forms into their numerical forms (or vice versa).

       OID is either a numeric or textual object identifier.

       The special - argument is used to translate multiple object IDs in one run.  Input  is  taken
       from  stdin, and output is written to stdout.  The input format can be a single object ID per
       line, or can be the output of snmpwalk or snmpget .

OPTIONS
       -D[TOKEN[,...]]
               Turn on debugging output for the given TOKEN(s).  Try ALL for extremely verbose  out‐
               put.

       -h      Display a brief usage message and then exit.

       -m MIBLIST
               Specifies  a  colon separated list of MIB modules to load for this application.  This
               overrides the environment variable MIBS.

               The special keyword ALL is used to  specify  all  modules  in  all  directories  when
               searching  for  MIB  files.   Every  file  whose name does not begin with "." will be
               parsed as if it were a MIB file.

       -M DIRLIST
               Specifies a colon separated list of directories to search for MIBs.   This  overrides
               the environment variable MIBDIRS.

       -T TRANSOPTS
               Provides control over the translation of the OID values.  The following TRANSOPTS are
               available:

               -TB   Print all matching objects for a regex search.

               -Td   Print full details of the specified OID.

               -Tp   Print a graphical tree, rooted at the specified OID.

               -Ta   Dump the loaded MIB in a trivial form.

               -Tl   Dump a labeled form of all objects.

               -To   Dump a numeric form of all objects.

               -Ts   Dump a symbolic form of all objects.

               -Tt   Dump a tree form of the loaded MIBs (mostly useful for debugging).

               -Tz   Dump a numeric and labeled form of all objects (compatible with MIB2SCHEMA for‐
                     mat).

       -V      Display version information for the application and then exit.

       -w WIDTH
               Specifies the width of -Tp and -Td output. The default is very large.

       In  addition  to  the above options, snmptranslate takes the OID input (-I), MIB parsing (-M)
       and OID output (-O) options described in the INPUT OPTIONS, MIB PARSING  OPTIONS  and  OUTPUT
       OPTIONS sections of the snmpcmd(1) manual page.

EXAMPLES
       •   snmptranslate -On -IR sysDescr
           will translate "sysDescr" to a more qualified form:

           system.sysDescr

       •   snmptranslate -Onf -IR sysDescr
           will translate "sysDecr" to:

           .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr

       •   snmptranslate -Td -OS system.sysDescr
           will translate "sysDecr" into:

           SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr
           sysDescr OBJECT-TYPE
             -- FROM SNMPv2-MIB
             -- TEXTUAL CONVENTION DisplayString
             SYNTAX OCTET STRING (0..255)
             DISPLAY-HINT "255a"
             MAX-ACCESS read-only
             STATUS current
             DESCRIPTION "A textual description of the entity. This
                          value should include the full name and
                          version identification of the system's
                          hardware type, software operating-system,
                          and networking software."
