Querying Node Properties

Syntax:

% dbcmd get property ?property ...? node

Returns:

  • The value of the specified property or properties (see below).

Properties:

-comments
Returns the textual comments associated with record.
-container
Returns the fully-qualified name of the record in which the queried record is contained. This property equivalent to -fullname for the container record, or for the queried record with the last envelope stripped off.
-description
Returns the body of text corresponding to the DESCRIPTION field of an OBJECT-IDENTITY record.
-fullname
Returns the fully-qualified name of the record in the form accepted by the SDK as a search query. For this record type, that is the file handle, the module name and the record name joined together with a ! (exclamation point), as in @File2!SNMPv2-MIB!system.
-fulloid
Returns the absolute (or as close as possible) OID value for the record, in dotted numeric notation (e.g. 1.3.6....). If the OID is not able to be resolved all the way to one of the root nodes (ccitt, iso, joint-iso-ccitt), due to one or more dependent modules not being present in the database, then the first component will be that of the descriptor that could not be resolved.
-name
Returns the unqualified name of the ASN.1 OID Value Assignment or OBJECT-IDENTITY record.
-oid
Returns the OID value for the record, in dot-delimited notation, with the module name and name portion of name-and-number forms (if any) stripped out. That is, a.1.2.3 will be returned even if the OID value is declared in the ASN.1 as { EX-MIB.a b(1) c(2) 3 }.
-reference
Returns the body of text corresponding to the REFERENCE field of an OBJECT-IDENTITY record.
-status
Returns the value of the STATUS field for an OBJECT-IDENTITY record.
-subids
Returns a list of integers representing the next subidentifier for each record whose OID values are assigned immediately subordinate to the OID value of the record search string. For example, if records assigned the OID values x.1 and x.2, then the -subids property for x is the list { 1 2 }.
-subnodes
Returns a list of records whose OID values are assigned immediately subordinate to the OID value of the record search string and that are defined in the same module. An element may be returned as a relative OID for "implicit" node definitions (e.g., assuming records are assigned values x.1.1 and x.1.2, but none are defined for x.1, then the result will include the value x.1).
-value
Equivalent to -oid for get operations.
-valuedecl
Returns the "as-declared" OID value for the record, in dot-delimited notation. If the first component is specified using module.descriptor form it is returned as module:descriptor. That is, SNMPv2-MIB:system.1 will be returned if the OID value is declared in the ASN.1 it as { SNMPv2-MIB.system 1 }.
