NAME

getone - program that retrieves 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 instance:

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 “system” is not a fully qualified SNMP variable.
