snmptranslate - translate SNMP objects into more useful informationSYNOPSIS
snmptranslate [-h] [-V] [-I INOPTS] [-O OUTOPTS] [-P MIBOPTS] [-T TRANSOPTS] objectIDDESCRIPTION
Snmptranslate is an application that translates an SNMP object (SMI value or symbolic form) into another form of information. With no other options, an SNMP object will be translated to its SMI value. The options have the following meanings: -h Print help message -V Print version message and exit -I INOPTS See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the OID input options -O OUTOPTS See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the OID output options -P MIBOPTS See the snmpcmd man page for a description of the MIB parsing options -T TRANSOPTS Translate an SNMP object to its symbolic form. The following TRANSOPTS are available: -Td print full details of the specified OID -Tp print a graphical tree, rooted at the specified OID -Ta dump the loaded MIB in a trivial form -Tl dump a labeled form of all objects -To dump a numeric form of all objects -Ts dump a symbolic form of all objects -Tt dump a tree form of the loaded mibs (mostly useful for debugging) -w width specify width of -Tp and -Td output. Default is very large EXAMPLES snmptranslate -On -IR sysDescr will translate "sysDescr" to a more qualified form: system.sysDescr snmptranslate -Onf -IR sysDescr will translate "sysDecr" to .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr snmptranslate -Td -OS system.sysDescr will translate "sysDecr" into SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr sysDescr OBJECT-TYPE -- FROM SNMPv2-MIB -- TEXTUAL CONVENTION DisplayString SYNTAX OCTET STRING DISPLAY-HINT "255a" MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "A textual description of the entity.
