SNMP Query

The SNMP Query tool is used to interact directly with the SNMP agent using get, set, get-next, and get-bulk requests. Requests may be sent using one variable or many variables.

Figure - SNMP Query

To send a request with a single variable, simply enter its name or OID, and syntax/value for set requests, and click the Get, Set, Next or Bulk buttons. Use the Non-Repeaters and Max-Repetitions fields to control the number of variables that the agent should return in Get-Bulk requests (SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 only).

To send a request with multiple variables, follow the same procedures but use the List Add button to build the list of variable bindings. Once added, the Get, Set, Next and Bulk buttons will operate on the list. Use the List Reset button to clear the list.

Tip: Enter the name or OID (plus instance identifier) of an object into the Goto entry in the Toolbar for a quick get request on that OID.
