SNMPNEXT

SNMPNEXT handles a GetNext packet for one or more MIB objects, encoding the

packet for UDP or IPC communication in the same fashion as SNMPGET.

Invoke SNMPNEXT the same way you invoke SNMPGET:

agent-community string

is the community name used by the target agent for request authentication. You can

format the community name as a displayable string or as a sequence of octets, where

each octet is an 8-bit hexadecimal value:

"myCommunity"

0x4D:0x65

The default is "public".

request-id

is an integer in the range -2147483648 to 2147483647 that uniquely identifies the

first request packet sent by the manager. The default is 1. If retry-count is

greater than 0, the request ID is incremented by one each time another request is

sent.

agent-request-port

is the UDP destination port to use to address the agent. The default is 161.

retry-count

specifies the number of times to resend the packet if an error occurs. The default is

timeout-seconds

is the number of seconds the manager should wait for request or response

transmission completion before resending the request or terminating. The default is

SNMPNEXT [-c agent-community string]

[-i request-id]

[-p agent-request-port}

[-r retry-count]

[-t timeout-seconds]

[-a NonStop-agent-process]

[-x output-information-level]
