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

SYNOPSIS
     snmpwalk host community [variable-name]

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

     The _h_o_s_t specification may be  either  a  host  name  or  an
     internet address specified in "dot notation"

     The _c_o_m_m_u_n_i_t_y specifies the community name for the  transac-
     tion with the remote system.

     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 _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e_s(5).

     If the "variable-name" argument  is  not  present,  snmpwalk
     will search the whole Internet MIB.

     For example

     _s_n_m_p_w_a_l_k _n_e_t_d_e_v-_k_b_o_x._c_c._c_m_u._e_d_u _p_u_b_l_i_c _s_y_s_t_e_m

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

     _N_a_m_e: _s_y_s_t_e_m._s_y_s_D_e_s_c_r._0
     _O_C_T_E_T _S_T_R_I_N_G- (_a_s_c_i_i):   _K_i_n_e_t_i_c_s _F_a_s_t_P_a_t_h_2

     _N_a_m_e: _s_y_s_t_e_m._s_y_s_O_b_j_e_c_t_I_D._0
     _O_B_J_E_C_T                                           _I_D_E_N_T_I_F_I_E_R:
     ._i_s_o._o_r_g._d_o_d._i_n_t_e_r_n_e_t._p_r_i_v_a_t_e._e_n_t_e_r_p_r_i_s_e_s._C_M_U._s_y_s_I_D._C_M_U-_K_I_P

     _N_a_m_e: _s_y_s_t_e_m._s_y_s_U_p_T_i_m_e._0
     _T_i_m_e_t_i_c_k_s: (_2_2_9_1_0_8_2) _6:_2_1:_5_0

     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 why the request was malformed.

     If the tree search causes attempts to search beyond the  end
     of the MIB, a message will be displayed:

     _E_n_d _o_f _M_I_B.

     Adding a "-d" to the argument list will cause  the  applica-
     tion to dump input and output packets.
