NAME

getone - program to retrieve variables from an SNMP entity

SYNOPSIS

getone entity_addr community string variable name [variable name] ... 

DESCRIPTION

getone is an SNMP application to retrieve a set of individual variables from an SNMP entity using a GET request.  The arguments are the entity’s address, the community string for access to the SNMP entity, and the fully qualified variable name(s) expressed as either dot-notation or the variable name as it appears in the MIB document.  It should be noted that since the function is GET , as opposed to a GET-NEXT , the variable must be fully qualified for the request to be successful.  For example:

getone suzzy public sysDescr.0 ifNumber.0

would return the variables sysDescr.0 and ifNumber.0 . 

But the call

getone suzzy public system

would return an error from the entity since it is not a fully qualified SNMP variable.
