NAME

getnext - program that retrieves variables from an SNMP entity. 

SYNOPSIS

getnext entity_addr "community string" "variable name" ["variable name"] ... 

DESCRIPTION

Getnext is an SNMP application to retrieve a set of individual variables from an SNMP entity using a GET-NEXT request.  The arguments are the entity’s address, the community string for access to the SNMP entity, and the 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 utilizes the powerful GET-NEXT operator, the variable returned will be a fully qualified object identifier lexicographically greater than that which was entered.  For instance:

getnext suzzy public system interfaces

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