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
