Snmputil.exe: SNMP Browser Topics | Previous

SNMP Browser Example


The following command line:

snmputil get jb486 public .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr.0

returns a text description of the type of computer hardware and software being used on the computer named jb486.

Notice that the oid strings can get quite long. There is one built-in shortcut. For items in the .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2 branch of the Internet MIB, the request can be shortened to:

snmputil get jb486 public system.sysDescr.0

In this case, the oid does not start with a period (".").

Note

The SNMP service does not need to be running on the computer that is executing SNMP Browser, but the proper files must be copied to that computer. In particular, Mgmtapi.dll, Snmpapi.dll, Wsnmp32.dll, and Mib.bin must be present, and TCP/IP must be installed on the computer.
