32 | .SH NAME | |
33 | snmpi \- really minimal SNMP initiator | |
34 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
35 | .in +.5i | |
36 | .ti -.5i | |

38 | \%[-a\0agent] | |
39 | \%[-c\0community] | |

46 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
47 | The \fIsnmpi\fR program is an extremely simple program, | |
48 | used to test \fIsnmpd\fR. | |
49 | Once \fIsnmpd\fR is started, | |
50 | to see if it's running, | |
51 | do: | |
52 | .sp | |
53 | .in +.5i | |
54 | .nf | |
55 | % snmpi dump | |
56 | .fi | |
57 | .in -.5i | |
58 | .sp | |
59 | This should generate voluminous output. | |
60 | .SH OPTIONS | |
61 | The `-a' switch sets the address of the SNMP agent. | |
62 | Either a hostname, an IP-address, or a transport address (using | |
63 | Kille's string syntax) may be used. | |
64 | The default is the localhost. | |
65 | Similarly, | |
66 | the `-p' switch sets the UDP port number that the agent resides on | |
67 | (if an IP-style address is given, obviously). | |
68 | The default is UDP port 161. | |
69 | .PP | |
70 | The `-c' switch sets the community name for the SNMP request. | |
71 | The default is public. | |
72 | .PP | |
73 | The `-d' switch enables debugging. | |
74 | This doesn't do anything yet. | |
75 | .PP | |
76 | The `-f' switch selects a file containing compiled MIB module definitions. | |
77 | The default is \fIobjects.defs\fR. | |
78 | .PP | |
79 | The `-w' switch enables watching. | |
80 | When SNMP messages are exchanged, | |
81 | they will be pretty-printed on the terminal if the user is watching. | |
82 | .PP | |
83 | The `-v' switch enables verbose interaction. | |
84 | This doesn't do anything yet. | |
85 | .SH FILES | |
86 | .nf | |
87 | .ta \w'\*(EDobjects.defs 'u | |
88 | \*(EDobjects.defs MIB definitions | |
89 | .re | |
90 | .fi | |
91 | .SH "NOTE WELL" | |
92 | The names of the objects in \fBobjects.defs\fR are case sensitive. | |
93 | This was necessary to improve the efficiency of the hashing algorithm | |
94 | used for object lookup. | |
95 | .SH "SEE ALSO" | |
96 | RFCs 1155, 1156, and 1157. | |

113 | Although this package is distributed with the ISODE, | |
114 | it is not an OSI program, per se. | |
115 | Inasmuch as the continued survival of the Internet hinges on all nodes | |
116 | becoming network manageable, | |
117 | this package was developed using the ISODE and is being freely | |
118 | distributed with releases of Berkeley UNIX. | |
119 | .PP | |
120 | It must be stressed that this package is not a complete network management | |
121 | system. | |
122 | In particular, | |
123 | whilst \fIsnmpd\fR provides a minimal agent functionality, | |
124 | there are no Network Operation Center (NOC) tools--\fIsnmpi\fR is a | |
125 | debugging aid only. |
