.SH NAME
snmpget - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GET Requests.
.SH SYNOPSIS
snmpget host community variable-name [variable-name]...
.SH DESCRIPTION
Snmpget is an SNMP application that uses the GET Request to query for
information on a network entity.  One or more fully qualified object
identifiers may be given as arguments on the command line.
Each variable name is given in the format specified in
.IR variables (5).
.PP
The
.I host
specification may be either a host name or an internet address
specified in "dot notation"
.PP
The
.I community
specifies the community name for the transaction with the remote system.
.PP
For example
.PP
.I snmpget netdev-kbox.cc.cmu.edu public system.sysdescr.0 system.sysUpTime.0
.PP
will retrieve the variables sysDescr.0 and sysUpTime.0:
.PP
.I Name: system.sysDescr.0
.br
.I OCTET STRING- (ascii):	Kinetics FastPath2
.PP
.I Name: system.sysUpTime.0
.br
.I Timeticks: (2270351) 6:18:23
.PP
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 in what
way the request was malformed.  If there were other variables in the request,
the request will be resent without the bad variable.
.PP
Adding a "-d" to the argument list will cause the application to dump input and output packets.
