SNMPBULKGET(1)			    Net-SNMP			  SNMPBULKGET(1)

NAME
     snmpbulkget  -  communicates  with  a network entity using SNMP GETBULK re-
     quests.

SYNOPSIS
     snmpbulkget [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cn <num>] [-Cr <NUM>] AGENT OID [OID]...

DESCRIPTION
     snmpbulkget is an SNMP application that uses the SNMP  GETBULK  request  to
     query  a  network	entity	efficiently for information.  One or more object
     identifiers (OIDs) may be given as arguments on  the  command  line.   Each
     variable name is given in the format specified in variables(5).

     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.

OPTIONS
     -Cn<NUM>
	     Set the non-repeaters field in the GETBULK PDU.  This specifies the
	     number of supplied variables that should not be iterated over.  The
	     default is 0.

     -Cr<NUM>
	     Set  the  max-repetitions field in the GETBULK PDU.  This specifies
	     the maximum number of iterations over the repeating variables.  The
	     default is 10.

     In addition to these options, snmpbulkget	takes  the  common  options  de-
     scribed  in the snmpcmd(1) manual page.  Note that snmpbulkget REQUIRES  an
     argument specifying the agent to query and at least one  OID  argument,  as
     described there.

EXAMPLE
     The command:

     snmpbulkget -v2c -Cn1 -Cr5 -Os -c public zeus system ifTable

     will  retrieve  the  variable system.sysDescr.0 (which is the lexicographi-
     cally next object to system) and the first 5 objects in the ifTable:

     sysDescr.0 = STRING: "SunOS zeus.net.cmu.edu 4.1.3_U1 1 sun4m"
     ifIndex.1 = INTEGER: 1
     ifIndex.2 = INTEGER: 2
     ifDescr.1 = STRING: "lo0"
     et cetera.

NOTE
     As the name implies, snmpbulkget utilizes the SNMP GETBULK  message,  which
     is not available in SNMPv1.
