SNMPHOST
Starting with the first entry in the hrDevice Table, SNMPHOST retrieves information 
from as many hrDeviceTable entries as you request at invocation. When the entry is for 
a processor, printer, or disk storage device, SNMPHOST also retrieves an additional 
value from the tables indicated in Figure 2-3
. Table 2-5 provides some information 
about the MIB objects retrieved.
