.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility is a simple SNMP client.
.Pp
The subcommands are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Xo
.Nm snmp
.Cm get
.Op Ar options
.Ar agent oid ...
.Xc
Retrieve the varbind for
.Ar oid
from the
.Ar agent .
If more than one
.Ar oid
is specified, retrieve the varbind for each one.
.It Xo
.Nm snmp
.Cm getnext
.Op Ar options
.Ar agent oid ...
.Xc
Retrieve the varbind that follows
.Ar oid
from the
.Ar agent .
If more than one
.Ar oid
is specified, retrieve the varbind following each one of them.
.It Nm snmp Cm walk Oo Ar options Oc Ar agent Op Ar oid
Retrieve all the varbinds that are branches of
.Ar oid
from the
.Ar agent .
This uses the
.Cm getnext
subcommand internally and requests a single varbind at a time.
If no
.Ar oid
is specified it defaults to mib-2
.Pq .1.3.6.1.2.1 .
.It Xo
.Nm snmp
.Cm bulkget
.Op Ar options
.Ar agent oid ...
.Xc
Retrieve the next 10 varbinds following each
.Ar oid
from the
.Ar agent .
This command is not available for
.Fl v Cm 1 .
.It Xo
.Nm snmp
.Cm bulkwalk
.Op Ar options
.Ar agent
.Op Ar oid
.Xc
Retrieve all the varbinds from the
.Ar agent
that are branches of
.Ar oid .
This uses the
.Cm bulkget
subcommand internally to retrieve multiple varbinds at a time.
This command is not available for
.Fl v Cm 1 .
.It Xo
.Nm snmp
.Cm set
.Op Ar options
.Ar agent varoid type value ...
.Xc
Set one or more
.Ar varoid to a new
.Ar value .
The format of the
.Ar varoid type value
triple is described in
.Sx Data types ,
below.
.It Xo
.Nm snmp
.Cm trap
.Op Ar options
.Ar agent uptime trapoid
.Op Ar varoid type value ...
.Xc
Send a trap message to the
.Ar agent .
The
.Ar uptime
is specified in timeticks
.Pq centiseconds
or defaults to the system uptime if an empty string is given.
The
.Ar trapoid
is the identification OID used by the trap handler to determine its action.
This command is not available for
.Fl v Cm 1 .
.It Xo
.Nm
.Cm df
.Op Ar options
.Ar agent
.Xc
An SNMP based version of the
.Xr df 1
command.
If no size suffix is shown the sizes are in kilobytes.
.It Nm Cm mibtree Op Fl O Ar fnS
Dump the tree of compiled-in MIB objects.
.El
.Pp
The
.Ar options
are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl A Ar authpass
The authentication password for the user.
This will be transformed to
.Ar localauth .
This option is only used by
.Fl v Cm 3 .
.It Fl a Ar digest
Set the digest
.Pq authentication
protocol.
Options are
.Cm MD5 ,
.Cm SHA ,
.Cm SHA-224 ,
.Cm SHA-256 ,
.Cm SHA-384
or
.Cm SHA-512 .
This option defaults to
.Cm MD5 .
This option is only used by
.Fl v Cm 3 .
.It Fl C Ar appopt
For the
.Cm bulkget ,
.Cm bulkwalk ,
.Cm df ,
and
.Cm walk
subcommands, set the application specific
.Ar appopt
options by supplying a string of one or more
of the following modifier letters:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Cm c
For
.Cm walk
and
.Cm bulkwalk ,
disable checking the order of MIBs.
On some devices that return MIBs out of order,
this may cause an infinite loop.
.It Cm E Ar endoid
For
.Cm walk ,
walk the tree up to but excluding
.Ar endoid .
The blank before
.Ar endoid
is mandatory.
.It Cm h
For
.Cm df
print the output in
.Dq human-readable
format.
.It Cm I
For
.Cm walk ,
do not fall back to returning the original MIB via a
.Cm get
request.
.It Cm i
For
.Cm walk
and
.Cm bulkwalk ,
always do a
.Cm get
request on the specified
.Ar oid
first.
.It Cm n Ns Ar nonrep
For
.Cm bulkget
and
.Cm bulkwalk ,
Set the non-repeaters field in the request to the non-negative integer
.Ar nonrep .
This causes the first
.Ar nonrep
.Ar oid
arguments to only return a single MIB instead of
.Ar maxrep .
This value defaults to 0.
No blank is allowed before
.Ar nonrep .
.It Cm p
For
.Cm walk
or
.Cm bulkwalk ,
also show a summary of the total variables received.
.It Cm r Ns Ar maxrep
For
.Cm bulkget ,
.Cm bulkwalk
and
.Cm df ,
set the max-repetitions field in the request to the positive integer
.Ar maxrep .
This determines the amount of MIBs to return for each specified OID.
This value defaults to 10.
No blank is allowed before
.Ar maxrep .
.It Cm s Ar skipoid
For
.Cm walk
or
.Cm bulkwalk
don't include
.Ar skipoid
or its children in the walk output.
The blank before
.Ar skipoid
is mandatory.
.It Cm t
For
.Cm walk ,
Show how long it took to walk the entire tree.
.El
.It Fl c Ar community

.Ar community
string.
Defaults to
.Cm public .
This option is only used by
.Fl v Cm 1
and
.Fl v Cm 2c .

Under normal circumstances this value is discovered via snmpv3 discovery and
does not need to be specified.
This option is only used by
.Fl v Cm 3 .
.It Fl E Ar ctxengineid
The snmpv3 context engine id.
Most of the time this value can be safely ignored.
This option is only used by
.Fl v Cm 3 .
.It Fl K Ar localpriv
The localized privacy password for the user in hexadecimal format
.Po
optionally prefixed with a
.Cm 0x
.Pc .
This option is only used by
.Fl v Cm 3 .
.It Fl k Ar localauth
The localized authentication password for the user in hexadecimal format
.Po
optionally prefixed with a
.Cm 0x
.Pc .
This option is only used by

Values can be
.Cm noAuthNoPriv Pq default ,
.Cm authNoPriv
.Po
requires either
.Fl A
or
.Fl k
.Pc
or
.Cm authPriv
.Po
requires either
.Fl X
or
.Fl K
in addition to the
.Cm authNoPriv
requirements
.Pc .
This option is only used by

.El
.Pp
The syntax for the
.Ar agent
argument is
.Oo Ar protocol : Oc Ns Ar address ,
with the following format:
.Bl -column udp6XXXtcp6X address -offset indent
.It Ar protocol Ta Ar address
.It Cm udp | tcp Ta Ar hostname Ns Oo Pf : Ar port Oc |
.Ar IPv4-address Ns Op Pf : Ar port
.It Cm udp6 | tcp6 Ta Ar hostname Ns Oo Pf : Ar port Oc |
.Cm \&[ Ns Ar IPv6-address Ns Cm \&] Ns Oo Pf : Ar port Oc |
.Ar IPv6-address Ns Pf : Ar port
.It Cm unix Ta Ar pathname
.El
.Pp
The default
.Ar protocol
is
.Cm udp
and the default
.Ar port
is 161, except for the
.Cm trap
subcommand, which uses 162.
.Cm udpv6
and
.Cm udpipv6
are aliases for
.Cm udp6 ;
.Cm tcpv6
and
.Cm tcpipv6
for
.Cm tcp6 .
To specify an IPv6-address without a
.Ar port ,
the
.Ar IPv6-address
must be enclosed in square brackets.
If the square brackets are omitted,
the value after the last colon is always interpreted as a
.Ar port .
.Ss Data types
Additional data sent to the server is formatted by specifying one or more
triples of
.Ar varoid ,
.Ar type ,
and
.Ar value .
Supported types are:
.Bl -tag -width 1n -offset indent
.It Cm a
An IPv4 Address.
.It Cm b
A bitstring.
A list of individual bit offsets separated by comma, space or tab.
Must be supplied as a single argument.

.It Cm i

An OID.
.It Cm s
A regular string.
.It Cm t
Timeticks in centiseconds.
.It Cm u
Unsigned integer.
Actually a normal integer for compatibility with netsnmp.
.It Cm x
