SNMPGETNEXT(1)			   Net-SNMP			SNMPGETNEXT(1)

NAME
       snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity	using SNMP GETNEXT re-
       quests

SYNOPSIS
       snmpgetnext [COMMON OPTIONS] [-Cf] AGENT	OID [OID]...

DESCRIPTION
       snmpgetnext  is	an SNMP	application that uses the SNMP GETNEXT request
       to query	for information	on a network entity.  One or more object iden-
       tifiers (OIDs) may be given as arguments	on  the	 command  line.	  Each
       variable	 name  is  given in the	format specified in variables(5).  For
       each one, the variable that is lexicographically	"next" in  the	remote
       entity's	MIB will be returned.

       For example:

       snmpgetnext -c public zeus interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1

       will retrieve the variable interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2:

       interfaces.ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.2 = softwareLoopback(24)

       If  the	network	 entity	has an error processing	the request packet, an
       error message will be shown, helping to pinpoint	in what	 way  the  re-
       quest was malformed.

OPTIONS
       -Cf     If -Cf is not specified,	some applications (snmpdelta, snmpget,
	       snmpgetnext  and	snmpstatus) will try to	fix errors returned by
	       the agent that you were talking to and resend the request.  The
	       only time this is really	useful is if you specified a OID  that
	       didn't  exist in	your request and you're	using SNMPv1 which re-
	       quires "all or nothing" kinds of	requests.

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