snmpgetnext(1M)		System Administration Commands	       snmpgetnext(1M)

NAME
       snmpgetnext  -  communicate  with  a  network entity using SNMP GETNEXT
       requests

SYNOPSIS
       snmpgetnext [-Cf] [common options] oid [oid...]

DESCRIPTION
       The snmpgetnext utility is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP  GET‐
       NEXT  request  to  query	 for  information on a network entity. You can
       specify one or more object identifiers (OIDs) as arguments on the  com‐
       mand line. Each variable name must be specified in the format specified
       in snmp_variables(4) . For each variable, the one that is lexicographi‐
       cally "next" in the remote entity's MIB is returned.

       For example, the command:

       # snmpgetnext -c public zeus interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1

       retrieves the variable interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2:

       interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = softwareLoopback(24)

       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.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -Cf

	   If  -Cf  is not specified, some applications (including snmpget(1M)
	   and snmpgetnext) attempt to fix errors returned by the  agent  that
	   you	were  talking  to  and resend the request. The -Cf option sup‐
	   presses 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 addition to  this  option,  snmpgetnext  takes  the  common  options
       described in the snmpcmd(1M) manual page.
