Various SNMP versions

SNMPv2c

Send SNMP GET request using the following options:

• with SNMPv1, community ‘public’
• over IPv4/UDP
• to an Agent at demo.snmplabs.com:161
• for two instances of SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 MIB object,

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpget -v2c -c public demo.snmplabs.com SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0

from pysnmp.hlapi.v3arch.asyncore import *

          errorStatus, errorIndex, varBinds, cbCtx):

    if errorIndication:
        print(errorIndication)
        return

    elif errorStatus:
        print('%s at %s' % (errorStatus.prettyPrint(),
                            errorIndex and varBindTable[-1][int(errorIndex) - 1][0] or '?'))
        return

    else:
        for varBind in varBinds:
            print(' = '.join([x.prettyPrint() for x in varBind]))


snmpEngine = SnmpEngine()

getCmd(snmpEngine,
       CommunityData('public'),
       UdpTransportTarget(('demo.snmplabs.com', 161)),
       ContextData(),
       ObjectType(ObjectIdentity('SNMPv2-MIB', 'sysDescr', 0)),
       cbFun=cbFun)

Walk whole MIB

Send a series of SNMP GETNEXT requests using the following options:

• with SNMPv3, user ‘usr-md5-none’, MD5 authentication, no privacy
• over IPv4/UDP
• to an Agent at demo.snmplabs.com:161
• for all OIDs in IF-MIB

Functionally similar to:

$ snmpwalk -v3 -lauthNoPriv -u usr-md5-none -A authkey1 -X privkey1
