SNMPTRANSLATE(1)                                  Net-SNMP                                  SNMPTRANSLATE(1)



NAME
       snmptranslate - translate MIB OID names between numeric and textual forms

SYNOPSIS
       snmptranslate [OPTIONS] OID [OID]...

DESCRIPTION
       snmptranslate  is an application that translates one or more SNMP object identifier values from their
       symbolic (textual) forms into their numerical forms (or vice versa).

       OID is either a numeric or textual object identifier.

OPTIONS
       -D TOKEN[,...]
               Turn on debugging output for the given TOKEN(s).  Try ALL for extremely verbose output.

       -h      Display a brief usage message and then exit.

       -m MIBLIST
               Specifies a colon separated list of MIB modules to load for this application.  This overrides
               the environment variable MIBS.

               The  special keyword ALL is used to specify all modules in all directories when searching for
               MIB files.  Every file whose name does not begin with "." will be parsed as if it were a  MIB
               file.

       -M DIRLIST
               Specifies a colon separated list of directories to search for MIBs.  This overrides the envi-ronment environment
               ronment variable MIBDIRS.

       -T TRANSOPTS
               Provides control over the translation of the OID values.  The following TRANSOPTS are  avail-able: available:
               able:

               -Td   Print full details of the specified OID.

               -Tp   Print a graphical tree, rooted at the specified OID.

               -Ta   Dump the loaded MIB in a trivial form.

               -Tl   Dump a labeled form of all objects.

               -To   Dump a numeric form of all objects.

               -Ts   Dump a symbolic form of all objects.

               -Tt   Dump a tree form of the loaded MIBs (mostly useful for debugging).

               -Tz   Dump a numeric and labeled form of all objects (compatible with MIB2SCHEMA format).

       -V      Display version information for the application and then exit.

       -w WIDTH
               Specifies the width of -Tp and -Td output. The default is very large.

       In  addition  to  the above options, snmptranslate takes the OID input (-I), MIB parsing (-M) and OID
       output (-O) options described in the INPUT OPTIONS, MIB PARSING OPTIONS and OUTPUT  OPTIONS  sections
       of the snmpcmd(1) manual page.

EXAMPLES
          snmptranslate -On -IR sysDescr
           will translate "sysDescr" to a more qualified form:

           system.sysDescr

          snmptranslate -Onf -IR sysDescr
           will translate "sysDecr" to:

           .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr

          snmptranslate -Td -OS system.sysDescr
           will translate "sysDecr" into:

           SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr
           sysDescr OBJECT-TYPE
             -- FROM SNMPv2-MIB
             -- TEXTUAL CONVENTION DisplayString
             SYNTAX OCTET STRING (0..255)
             DISPLAY-HINT "255a"
             MAX-ACCESS read-only
             STATUS current
             DESCRIPTION "A textual description of the entity. This
                          value should include the full name and
                          version identification of the system's
                          hardware type, software operating-system,
                          and networking software."
           ::= { iso(1) org(3) dod(6) internet(1) mgmt(2) mib-2(1) system(1) 1 }
