[mrtg] Re: [Re: question about using SNMPWALK]

[Payman N]

My point is how to use SNMPWALK in MRTG to poll data from device rather than
MRTG's.

SNMPWALK(1)                                           SNMPWALK(1)

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

SYNOPSIS
       snmpwalk [common arguments] [-C APPOPTS] [objectID]

DESCRIPTION
       Snmpwalk  is  an  SNMP  application  that  uses  GET  NEXT
       Requests  to  query for a tree of information about a net-
       work entity.

       A variable may also be given on the  command  line.   This
       variable  specifies which portion of the object identifier
       space will be searched using GET NEXT Requests.  All vari-
       ables  in the subtree below the given variable are queried
       and their values presented to  the  user.   Each  variable
       name is given in the format specified in variables(5).

       If  the  "objectID" argument is not present, snmpwalk will
       search MIB-2.

       For example

       snmpwalk zeus public system

       will retrieve all of the variables under system:

       system.sysDescr.0 =  "SunOS  zeus.net.cmu.edu  4.1.3_U1  1
       sun4m"
       system.sysObjectID.0   =   OID:   enterprises.hp.nm.hpsys-
       tem.10.1.1
       system.sysUpTime.0  =  Timeticks:  (155274552)  17   days,
       23:19:05
       system.sysContact.0 = ""
       system.sysName.0 = "zeus.net.cmu.edu"
:       If the tree search causes attempts to  search  beyond  the
       end of the MIB, a message will be displayed:

       End of MIB.

OPTIONS
       In  addition  to  the  arguments defined in the snmpcmd(1)
       manual page, the following options are supported as well:

       -Ci    Includes the requested oid  in  the  search  range.
              Normally  snmpwalk  uses getnexts starting with the
              oid you request and returns all results in the  MIB
              tree  below  the one you requested.  Sometimes, you
              may wish to include the OID specified on  the  com-
              mand  line  in the printed results if it is a valid
              OID in the tree itself.  This option  lets  you  do
              this.

       -Cp    Upon  completion, snmpwalk will print the number of
              variables found during the walk.

SEE ALSO
       snmpcmd(1), variables(5).
