NAME
snmptranslate - translate MIB OID names between numeric and textual forms
SYNOPSIS
snmptranslate [OPTIONS] OID [OID]...
snmptranslate [OPTIONS] -
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.
The special - argument is used to translate multiple object IDs in one run. Input is
taken from stdin, and output is written to stdout. The input format can be a single
object ID per line, or can be the output of snmpwalk or snmpget .
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 environment variable MIBDIRS.
-T TRANSOPTS
Provides control over the translation of the OID values. The following TRANSOPTS
are available:
-TB Print all matching objects for a regex search.
-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."
