Obtain a tree of information from a network device, using automatic SNMP GETNEXT commands. In the NIOS administrative shell version of the snmpwalk command, you can specify the SNMP version, the community string, and the desired Root Object ID (OID).

Syntax

snmpget <hostname or IP address> <SNMP OID>

Example

The following example lists a partial output from querying the root Object ID for a Cisco Nexus 5K switch (this technique is also useful for looking up other Object IDs within a particular device):

Infoblox > snmpwalk 172.22.33.5 1.3
