NAME
snmpgetname - obtains requested MIB tree information
SYNOPSIS
snmpgetname
-n | -s | -o [-p] MIB-object ...
where:
MIB-object is a MIB object node residing in the MIB tree (ie:
dataGeneral or 1.3.6.1.4.1.106).
DESCRIPTION
The snmpgetname command can be used to obtain various MIB node
information for a specified MIB object.
If a MIB object symbolic name is specified (ie dataGeneral,
enterprises.106 ), the snmpgetname can be used to display the
object's ID in numerical dot notation (1.3.6.1.4.1.106), or in OID
format (1 3 6 1 4 1 106). It can also be used to obtain the object's
parent node (1.3.6.1.4.1).
If a MIB node object ID is specified in dot notation
(1.3.6.1.4.1.106), the snmpgetname can be used to display the
object's symbolic name (dataGeneral) or the object's ID on OID format
(1 3 6 1 4 1 106). It can also be used to obtain the object's parent
node (1.3.6.1.4.1).
Options are:
-n Display specified MIB object in a numeric format
-s Display specified MIB object in symbolic name format
-o Display specified MIB object in OID format
-p Display the parent object of the specified MIB object
