table or entire row is not possible using the "snmpget" command. Nor can you directly ac-
cess objects with the ACCESS attribute "not-accessible" - these objects are generally table
nodes ("..Table") or table entry nodes ("..Entry").
To query the values of multiple objects of either a table or an entire branch of the MIB hier-
archy, you have to use a different command. This is dealt with in the next section.
7.2.2 Querying Multiple MIB Elements Using the Command snmpwalk
The "snmpwalk" command uses a similar syntax to "snmpget":
snmpwalk [ options... ] entity_addr community varclass [ varclass ]
...
The parameters "entity_addr" and "community" have the same function as in the "sn-
mpget" command. There are also a lot of options, but normally no option is needed. How-
ever, unlike the "variable" parameter of the "snmpget" command, the "varclass" pa-
rameter denotes a set of objects and not one individual object.
The "snmpwalk" command also interprets object identifiers differently. Due to this different
interpretation, the OID of a "...Table" or "...Entry" element can be specified with the com-
mand.
For more information on the syntax see the help text, when typing snmpwalk without any
parameters or type
man snmpwalk
