Snmpbulkwalk is an SNMP application that uses BULK Requests to query for a
tree of information about a network entity.
A variable may also be given on the command line. This variable specifies
which portion of the object identifier space will be searched using BULK
Requests. All variables in the subtree below the given variable are queried
as a single request and their values presented to the user. Each variable
name is given in the format specified in
variables (5).
If the "objectID" argument is not present, snmpbulkwalk will search MIB-2.
For example
snmpbulkwalk -v 2c zeus public system
will retrieve all of the variables under system:
system.sysDescr.0
= "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m"
system.sysObjectID.0
= OID: enterprises.hp.nm.hpsystem.10.1.1
system.sysUpTime.0
= Timeticks: (155274552) 17 days, 23:19:05
system.sysContact.0
= ""
system.sysName.0
= "zeus.net.cmu.edu"
system.sysLocation.0
= ""
system.sysServices.0
= 72
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.
If the tree search causes attempts to search beyond the end of the MIB, a
message will be displayed:
End of MIB.
