NAME
       snmpgetnext - communicates with a network entity using SNMP GETNEXT requests

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

DESCRIPTION
       snmpget  is  an SNMP application that uses the SNMP GETNEXT request to query for information on a network entity.  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).  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 request was malformed.

OPTIONS
       snmpgetnext  takes  the  common  options described in the snmpcmd(1) manual page and also the -Cf option described in the
       snmpget(1) manual page.
