SNMPv3 requests

The clsnmp command is used to send SNMP requests to SNMP agents on local or remote hosts.

The requests can be SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or SNMPv3 requests. In order to process requests, the /etc/clsnmp.conf file must be configured.

The clsnmp command can issue get, getnext, getbulk, set, walk, and findname requests. Each of these requests is briefly described below:
get
allows the user to gather data from one MIB variable
getnext
gives the next MIB variable in the MIB subtree
getbulk
gives all MIB variables from multiple MIB subtrees
set
allows the user to set a MIB variable
walk
gives all MIB variables of one subtree
findname
maps the OID to the variable name
trap
allows clsnmp to listen to traps on port 162
