NAME
     snmpget - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GET
     Requests.

SYNOPSIS
     snmpget host [-n] [-p port] [-c community] [-t timeout] [-r
     retrycnt] [-i requestID] variable [variable]...

DESCRIPTION
     snmpget is an SNMP application that uses the GET Request to
     query for information on a network entity host.

     -n             Show network addresses as numbers (normally
                    snmpget interprets addresses and attempts to
                    display them symbolically).

     -p             allows the user to select the remote port.

     -c             allows the user to select the community name.
                    The default is public.

     -t             allows the user to set the timeout value in
                    seconds.  The default is to wait for 10
                    seconds.

     -r             allows the user to set the number of retries
                    after a timeout.  The default is to retry 3
                    times.

     -i             allows the user to specify his management
                    request.  The default is zero.

     variable       Each variable is given in the format of
                    A.B.C.D..., where A, B, C, and D are subiden-
                    tifiers in decimal notation.  For example

                         snmpget mips.mips.com -c public system.sysdescr.0 system.sysUpTime.0

                    will retrieve the variables sysDescr.0 and
                    sysUpTime.0:

                       Name: iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.system.sysDescr.0
                       OctetString: """mips mips 4_0 UMIPS mips m1000 ATT_V3_0"""

                       Name: iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib.system.sysUpTime.0
                       Timeticks: (2270351) 6:18:23

                    If the network entity has an error processing
                    the request packet, an error packet will be
                    returned and a message will be shown, helping
                    to pinpoint in what way the request was mal-
                    formed.
