Walking operations

Bulk walk MIB

Send a series of SNMP GETBULK requests * with SNMPv2c, community ‘public’ * over IPv4/UDP * to an Agent at 104.236.166.95:161 * with values non-repeaters = 0, max-repetitions = 25 * for two OIDs in tuple form * stop on end-of-mib condition for both OIDs

This script performs similar to the following Net-SNMP command:

$ snmpbulkwalk -v2c -c public -C n0 -C r25 -ObentU 104.236.166.95 1.3.6.1.2.1.1 1.3.6.1.4.1.1

Fetch two subtrees in parallel

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

• with SNMPv1, community ‘public’
• over IPv4/UDP
• to an Agent at 104.236.166.95:161
• for two OIDs in tuple form
• stop on end-of-mib condition for both OIDs

This script performs similar to the following Net-SNMP command:
