Read Managed Object Values
You may only retrieve (read) managed object values if your management station is a member of the same
community as the SNMP agent.
There are several Unix SNMP commands that read data:
Task Command Command Mode
Choose a name for the community.
snmp-server community name {ro | rw} CONFIGURATION
Message 1 SNMP Enabled
22:31:23: %STKUNIT0-M:CP %SNMP-6-SNMP_WARM_START: Agent Initialized - SNMP WARM_START
Task Command
Read the value of a single managed object,
as shown in Figure 44-2.
snmpget -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance |
descriptor.instance}
Figure 44-2. Reading the Value of a Managed Object
Read the value of the managed object
directly below the specified object, as
shown in Figure 44-3.
snmpgetnext -v version -c community agent-ip {identifier.instance |
descriptor.instance}
