getnext(1M)                     TCP/IP 5.4.2                     getnext(1M)


NAME
       getnext - get MIB-objects from SNMP agent

SYNOPSIS
       getnext host community object ...

   where:
       host is a hostname or Internet address
       community is a community string
       object is a object type or object instance

DESCRIPTION
       Use the getnext command to retrieve objects from an SNMP agent.  The
       command sends an SNMP message containing the community string and a
       GetNextRequest-PDU requesting the specified object to the agent
       running on the host.

       Specify the host as either a hostname or an Internet address in dot-
       notation.

       The community string is a text string used by the agent to
       authenticate the request.  You must configure the agent to accept
       requests from the specified community for the operation to be
       successful.

       Specify the  object as either an object type or object instance.  You
       may specify the object in either dot-notation representing an object
       identifier or as a text string representing an object descriptor.

EXAMPLES
       $ getnext myhost public sysDescr sysDescr.0  1.3.6.1.2.1.2

       Name: sysDescr.0
       Value: DG/UX TCP/IP SNMP AGENT

       Name: sysObjectID.0
       Value: DataGeneral

       Name: ifNumber.0
       Value: 2

       Note: The object returned by the agent is the one that follows
       lexicographically the one specified.
       In this example the type sysDescr was specified and the first instance
       sysDescr.0 was returned.
       The instance sysDescr.0 was specified so the next instance sysObjectID.0
       was returned.
       Lastly, 1.3.6.1.2.1.2 which is the object identifier for ifTable was
       requested and ifNumber.0, which is the first instance in the ifTable
       was returned.

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit status is 0 upon success.
