well,

- snmpwalk is a program, a management tool  (an SNMP application)
used for requesting table objects from a MIB.
It usually comes with an SNMP manager package which runs in the client's
side.

You have to search for an SNMP manager program that runs in
your computer. (like cmu-snmp running on Solaris systems).
