snmpwalk v3 example

Examples

# snmpwalk v3 example with authentication and encryption

snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u UserMe -a SHA -A AuthPass1 -x AES -X PrivPass2 192.168.1.1:161 1.3.6.1.2.1.1

# snmpwalk v3 example with authentication, but no encryption

snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u UserMe -a SHA -A AuthPass1 192.168.1.1:161 1.3.6.1.2.1.1

# snmpwalk v3 example with no authentication and no encryption but you still needs a username

snmpwalk -v3 -l noAuthNoPriv -u UserMe 192.168.1.1:161 1.3.6.1.2.1.1

# Using OID dot1dTpFdbAddress and SNMPv3 context name to get mac addresses in VLAN 32

snmpwalk -v3 -l authNoPriv -u UserMe -a MD5 -A AuthPass1 -n vlan-32 192.168.1.1 dot1dTpFdbAddress

Syntax:

snmpwalk -v3 -l <noAuthNoPriv|authNoPriv|authPriv> -u <username> [-a <MD5|SHA>] [-A <authphrase>]

[-x <DES|AES>] [-X <privaphrase>] <ipaddress>[:<dest_port>] [oid]

snmpwalk v2c example

Examples

# Using OID system (1.3.6.1.2.1.1) to get basic system information about host

snmpwalk -v2c -c public 192.168.1.1:161 1.3.6.1.2.1.1
