GetRequests.
SNMPGET NODE
COMMUNITY
VARIABLE
[VARIABLE...]
Parameters
NODE This is a required parameter. It specifies the network
element that is to be the target of the SNMP
GetRequest. This parameter can either be a fully
qualified IP address or a valid host name that is found
in the hosts database. If 0 is specified, the request is
sent to the local host.
COMMUNITY This is a required parameter. It defines the SNMP
community name that is used in the SNMP
GetRequest. If 0 is specified, the community name
defaults to public.
VARIABLE This is a required parameter. This command accepts
1–20 fully qualified object identifiers as arguments.
Each variable has the format of A.B.C.D..., where A, B,
C, and D are subidentifiers in decimal notation.
Description
SNMPGET is an SNMP application that uses the GetRequest to query for
information on a node. The response to the SNMP GetRequest is then
formatted and returned.
