Net-SNMP                                           SNMPBULKGET(1)



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

SYNOPSIS
     snmpbulkget  [APPLICATION  OPTIONS]  [COMMON  OPTIONS]   OID
     [OID]...

DESCRIPTION
     snmpbulkget is an SNMP application that uses the  SNMP  GET-
     BULK  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
             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
             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.

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.
