NAME
       snmpget - communicate with a network entity using SNMP GET requests

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/sfw/bin/snmpget [common options] [-Cf] oid [oid...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  snmpget  utility  is  an  SNMP  application that uses the SNMP GET
       request to query for information on a network entity. You  can  specify
       one or more object identifiers (OIDs) as arguments on the command line.
       Each variable name  must	 be  specified	in  the	 format	 specified  in
       snmp_variables(4) .

       For example, the command:

       # snmpget -c public zeus system.sysDescr.0

       retrieves the variable system.sysDescr.0:

       system.sysDescr.0 = "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m"

       If  the	network	 entity has an error processing the request packet, an
       error packet is returned and a message displayed. The message indicates
       the  way	 in which the request was malformed. If there were other vari‐
       ables in the request that were correctly formed, the  request  will  be
       resent without the bad variable.

OPTIONS
       The following option is supported:

       -Cf

	   If  -Cf  is	not  specified,	 some applications (including snmpget‐
	   next(1M) and snmpget) attempt to fix errors returned by  the	 agent
	   that	 you  were  talking  to and resend the request. The -Cf option
	   suppresses this fix-and-resend feature.

	   Fix-and-resend is useful if you specified a nonexistent OID in your
	   request  and	 you are using SNMPv1, which requires "all or nothing"
	   types of requests. In the following example note that system.sysUp‐
	   Time	 is  an	 incomplete  OID,  because  it	requires  the .0 index
	   appended to it:

	   # snmpget -v1 -Cf -c public localhost system.sysUpTime \
	   system.sysContact.0
	   Error in packet
	   Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
	   This name doesn't exist: system.sysUpTime

	   # snmpget -v1 -c public localhost system.sysUpTime system.sysContact.0
	   Error in packet
	   Reason: (noSuchName) There is no such variable name in this MIB.
	   This name doesn't exist: system.sysUpTime

	   system.sysContact.0 = STRING: root@localhost

       In addition to this option, snmpwalk takes the common options described
       in the snmpcmd(1M) manual page.

EXIT STATUS
       0

	   Successful completion.

       1

	   A  usage  syntax error. A usage message is displayed. Also used for
	   timeout errors.

       2

	   An error occurred while executing the command. An error message  is
	   displayed.
