SNMPGETNEXT(1)                                    Net-SNMP                                    SNMPGETNEXT(1)



NAME
       snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT requests

SYNOPSIS
       snmpgetnext [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cf] OID [OID]...

DESCRIPTION
       snmpget  is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETNEXT request to query for information on a net-work network
       work entity.  One or more object identifiers (OIDs) may be given as arguments on  the  command  line.
       Each variable name is given in the format specified in variables(5).  For each one, the variable that
       is lexicographically "next" in the remote entity's MIB will be returned.

       For example:

       snmpgetnext -c public zeus interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1

       will retrieve the variable interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2:

       interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = softwareLoopback(24)

       If the network entity has an error processing the request packet, an error  message  will  be  shown,
       helping to pinpoint in what way the request was malformed.

OPTIONS
       snmpgetnext  takes the common options described in the snmpcmd(1) manual page and also the -Cf option
       described in the snmpget(1) manual page.
