-.TH SNMPTEST 1 "08 Feb 2002" VVERSIONINFO "Net-SNMP"
-.UC 4
-.SH NAME
-snmptest - communicates with a network entity using SNMP requests
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B snmptest
-[COMMON OPTIONS]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B snmptest
-is a flexible SNMP application that can monitor and manage information
-on a network entity.
-.PP
-After invoking the program, a command line interpreter proceeds to
-accept commands. It will prompt with:
-.PP
-.B Variable:
-.PP
-At this point you can enter one or more variable names, one per line.
-A blank line is a command to send a request for each of the variables
-(in a single packet) to the remote entity. Each variable name is given
-in the format specified in
-.IR variables(5) .
-For example:
-.PP
-snmptest -c public -v 1 zeus
-.br
-.BR Variable: " system.sysDescr.0"
-.br
-.BR Variable:
-.PP
-will return some information about the request and reply packets, as
-well as the information:
-.PP
-requestid 0x5992478A errstat 0x0 errindex 0x0
-.br
-system.sysDescr.0 = STRING: "Unix 4.3BSD"
-.PP
-Upon startup, the program defaults to sending a GET request packet.
-This can be changed to a GETNEXT request or a SET request by typing
-the commands "$N" or "$S" respectively. Typing "$G" will go back to
-the GET request mode.
-.PP
-The command "$D" will toggle the dumping of each sent and received packet.
-.PP
-The command "$QP" will toggle a quicker, less verbose output form.
-.PP
-When in the "SET request" mode, more information is requested by the prompt for each variable. The prompt:
-.PP
-.B Type [i|s|x|d|n|o|t|a]:
-.PP
-requests the type of the variable be entered. Type "i" for an
-integer, "s" for an octet string in ASCII, "x" for an octet string as
-hex bytes separated by whitespace, "d" for an octet string as decimal
-bytes separated by whitespace, , "a" for an ip address in dotted IP
-notation, and "o" for an object identifier. At this point a value
-will be prompted for:
-.PP
-.B Value:
-.PP
-If this is an integer value, just type the integer (in decimal). If
-it is a decimal string, type in white-space separated decimal numbers,
-one per byte of the string. Again type a blank line at the prompt for
-the variable name to send the packet.
-.PP
-At the variable name line, typing "$Q" will quit the program.
-.SH OPTIONS

-.I snmpcmd(1)
