NAME

snmptranslate - translate SNMP objects into more useful information

SYNOPSIS

snmptranslate [-h? [-V? [-D?

DESCRIPTION

Snmptranslate is an application that translates an SNMP object (SMI value or symbolic form) into another form of information. With no other options, an SNMP object will be translated to its SMI value.

The options have the following meanings:

-h

Print help message

-V

Print version message and exit

-D

Enable debugging output. See the snmpcmd man page for more information.

-I

See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the OID input options

-O

See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the OID output options

-P

See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the MIB parsing options

-T

Translate an SNMP object to its symbolic form. The following TRANSOPTS are available:

-Td

print full details of the specified OID

-Tp

print a graphical tree, rooted at the specified OID

-Ta

dump the loaded MIB in a trivial form

-Tl

dump a labeled form of all objects

-To

dump a numeric form of all objects

-Ts

dump a symbolic form of all objects

-Tt

dump a tree form of the loaded mibs (mostly useful for debugging)

-w width

specify width of -Tp and -Td output. Default is very large

EXAMPLES

snmptranslate -On -IR sysDescr

will translate

system.sysDescr

snmptranslate -Onf -IR sysDescr

will translate

.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr

snmptranslate -Td -OS system.sysDescr

will translate

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr sysDescr OBJECT-TYPE -- FROM SNMPv2-MIB -- TEXTUAL CONVENTION !DisplayString? SYNTAX OCTET STRING DISPLAY-HINT

snmptranslate -Tp -OS system

will print the following tree

• --!system(1)?
