NAME

       snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT requests

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       snmpgetnext  is  an  SNMP  application  that  uses the SNMP GETNEXT request to query for information on a
       network 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

       -Cf     If  -Cf is not specified, some applications (snmpdelta, snmpget, snmpgetnext and snmpstatus) will
               try to fix errors returned by the agent that you were talking to and  resend  the  request.   The
               only  time  this is really useful is if you specified a OID that didn't exist in your request and
               you're using SNMPv1 which requires "all or nothing" kinds of requests.

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