 Name

    getnext - program that retrieves variables from an SNMP entity

 Syntax


    getnext entityaddr 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.
