In addition to the common arguments,
snmpbulkget
takes one specific argument
where
nonrep
specifies the number of input variables that should not repeat, and
rep
is the maximum number of repetitions of the rest of the variables.
For example
snmpbulkwalk -v 2c -B 1 10 zeus public system interfaces
will retrieve the variable system.sysDescr.0 (which is the lexicographically
next object to system) and the first 10 objects of the interfaces group.
system.sysDescr.0
= "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m"
interfaces.ifNumber.0
= 2
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex.1
= 1
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifIndex.2
= 2
interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifDescr.1
= "lo0"
et cetera.
If the network entity has an error processing the request packet, an error
packet will be returned and a message will be shown, helping to pinpoint why
the request was malformed.
