NAME

       snmpbulkget - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETBULK requests.

SYNOPSIS

       snmpbulkget [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cn <num>] [-Cr <NUM>] AGENT OID [OID]...

DESCRIPTION

       snmpbulkget  is  an  SNMP  application  that  uses  the  SNMP  GETBULK  request to query a network entity
       efficiently for information.  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).

       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.

OPTIONS

       -Cn<NUM>
               Set the non-repeaters field in the GETBULK PDU.  This specifies the number of supplied  variables
               that should not be iterated over.  The default is 0.

       -Cr<NUM>
               Set  the  max-repetitions  field  in  the  GETBULK  PDU.   This  specifies  the maximum number of
               iterations over the repeating variables.  The default is 10.

       In addition to these options, snmpbulkget takes the common options described  in  the  snmpcmd(1)  manual
       page.   Note  that  snmpbulkget  REQUIRES  an argument specifying the agent to query and at least one OID
       argument, as described there.

EXAMPLE

       The command:

       snmpbulkget -v2c -Cn1 -Cr5 -Os -c public zeus system ifTable

       will retrieve the variable system.sysDescr.0 (which is the lexicographically next object to  system)  and
       the first 5 objects in the ifTable:

       sysDescr.0 = STRING: "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m"
       ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
       ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
       ifDescr.1 = STRING: "lo0"
       et cetera.

NOTE

       As the name implies, snmpbulkget utilizes the SNMP GETBULK message, which is not available in SNMPv1.
