.SH NAME
snmpi \- really minimal SNMP initiator
.SH SYNOPSIS
.in +.5i
.ti -.5i
.B snmpi
\%[-a\0agent]
\%[-c\0community]
\%[-p\0portno]
\%[-d]
\%[-v]
\%[-w]
.in -.5i
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIsnmpi\fR program is an extremely simple program,
used to test \fIsnmpd\fR.
Once \fIsnmpd\fR is started,
to see if it's running,
do:
.sp
.in +.5i
.nf
% snmpi dump
.fi
.in -.5i
.sp
This should generate voluminous output.
.SH OPTIONS
The `-a' switch sets the address of the SNMP agent.
Either a hostname, an IP-address, or a transport address (using
Kille's string syntax) may be used.
The default is the localhost.
Similarly,
the `-p' switch sets the UDP port number that the agent resides on
(if an IP-style address is given, obviously).
The default is UDP port 161.
.PP
The `-c' switch sets the community name for the SNMP request.
The default is public.
.PP
The `-d' switch enables debugging.
This doesn't do anything yet.
.PP
The `-w' switch enables watching.
When SNMP messages are exchanged,
they will be pretty-printed on the terminal if the user is watching.
.PP
The `-v' switch enables verbose interaction.
This doesn't do anything yet.
.SH FILES

.SH "NOTE WELL"
The names of the various in \fBobjects.defs\fR are case sensitive.
This was necessary to improve the efficiency of the hashing algorithm
used for object lookup.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
RFCs 1065, 1066, and 1098.

.PP
Although this package is distributed with the ISODE,
it is not an OSI program, per se.
Inasmuch as the continued survival of the Internet hinges on all nodes
becoming network manageable,
this package was developed using the ISODE and is being freely
distributed with releases of Berkeley UNIX.
.PP
It must be stressed that this package is not a complete network management
system.
In particular,
whilst \fIsnmpd\fR provides a minimal agent functionality,
there are no Network Operation Center (NOC) tools--\fIsnmpi\fR is a
debugging aid only.
